This recipe has been in my soup recipe cookbook for years so I have no idea where it came from but it is quick and easy and it is one that you can have the ingredients on hand and make up right away. It can be made as spicy as you want or not spicy at all. Enjoy.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 slice bacon cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 medium green pepper diced
4 to 6 green onions sliced
1 or 2 clove garlic minced
2 can(s) chicken and rice soup
1 can(s) stewed tomatoes 14oz
1 1/2 c water
1 bay leaf
hot pepper sauce to taste

Steps:

  • 1. In a 4 quart pot cook bacon until crisp. Remove and save.
  • 2. In the bacon fat saute the vegetables until crisp tender. I drain the fat or blot with a paper towel.
  • 3. Stir in soup, tomatoes (breaking them up if needed), water, bay leaf and hot pepper sauce.
  • 4. Bring just to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Add bacon. Discard bay leaf and serve passing more hot sauce if needed.
  • 5. I have also added a can of green chilies to this soup and some sausage cut into slices or diced is a good addition.
