- Add bacon and garlic and cook for two minutes
- Add flour and stir until there is no dry flour remaining and mixture begins to darken.
- Add chicken broth and diced tomatoes.TIP: Want to add even more flavor to your soup? Try substituting fire roasted tomatoes for the called for typical diced tomatoes.
- Stir until combined.
- Add thyme, bay leaves, salt and pepper and turn heat to low.
- Stir to combine and allow soup to simmer for 30 minutes.
- Remove bay leaves. Using an immersion blender, puree soup until no large pieces remain.TIP: Don't have an immersion blender? Instead, you can transfer your soup in small batches to a blender or food processor and puree to desired texture. You'll want to insure you don't fill your blender or food processor too full to avoid burning yourself - and making a huge mess!
- Stir in heavy cream and season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
