Hearty Tomato Soup With Lemon and Rosemary image

I saw this prepared on Food Network today and thought I'd post it to try later. Looks yummy for a cold winter evening! (If you can't find creme fraiche locally, mix 1/3 cup of heavy cream with 1/3 cup of sour creme and allow it to come to room temperature) ***I froze the tomato soup, and when I pulled it out of the freezer, I didn't have have the ingredients to make the cream sauce. Instead I chopped some rosemary, zested some lemon, crumbled some bacon, and drizzled a few tablespoons of heavy cream into each bowl. Just as scrumptious!
