Recipe Tips
- You can omit the sugar if you don’t think it is needed. However, the sugar will help reduce the acidity of the tomatoes.
- If you’re using fresh tomatoes, then make sure you remove the skins as they will cook to be quite leathery.
- Bacon is an excellent addition, but I highly recommend that you dice and fry it first.
- This soup is best pureed, so I highly recommend that you don’t try to make it chunky.
- The chicken stock can be replaced with vegetable stock, and the cream left out if you want this to be vegan or vegetarian-friendly.
