Canned tomatoes, bacon and chicken broth make this an easy soup to throw together! Perfect paired with a nice slice of southern cornbread. My mother got it from a nice restaurant around Clayton, GA. Can't think of the name of it though. A very tasty and easy soup.

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 slices bacon, diced
4 tablespoons bacon drippings
6 tablespoons plain flour
2 (15 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
2 (15 ounce) cans chicken broth, heated
15 ounces water
1 medium onion

Steps:

  • Cook bacon until crispy. Drain, reserving 4 T. of drippings.
  • Sauté onion in 1 T. of bacon drippings (or olive oil) until soft and transparent.
  • Mix remaining drippings and flour in pan and cook until light brown.
  • Add onion and hot broth, stirring until smooth.
  • Whisk in can of water, tomatoes and bacon.
  • Cook on low heat for 30-45 minutes.
  • I think this would probably be good with turkey bacon for a lighter version and olive oil in place of the drippings.
