Steps:
- In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add onion and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until onion softens, 4 to 6 minutes. Add tomatoes and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring, until tomatoes begin to break down, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Add broth and 1 cup water. Simmer until tomatoes are very soft, about 10 minutes. In batches, puree soup in a blender (use caution when blending hot liquids). Return soup to pot and simmer 1 minute; stir in cream and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
- In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium until lightly browned but not crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels; discard fat from skillet. Butter 8 slices bread. Place 4 slices, buttered side down, on a work surface. Top with bacon and cheese. Top with remaining bread, buttered side up. In batches, cook sandwiches in skillet over medium-low until cheese melts and bread is golden, about 5 minutes per side. Quarter sandwiches and serve with soup.

- In a large dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon pieces to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain, leaving the bacon grease in the pot.
- Carefully spoon away all but about 4 tablespoons of the bacon grease and return the pot to medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until tender and translucent. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant - about 1 minute. Add the flour and stir to combine. Cook, stirring constantly for about 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth and whisk to combine. Add the tomatoes and sugar*. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Carefully use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, being sure to keep the blender head close to the bottom of the pot to prevent splattering. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Serve topped with the crispy bacon pieces and a sprinkle of shredded parmesan cheese.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Core the tomatoes and thinly slice. Place in a colander in the sink and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt; let drain for at least 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Pour off and reserve the drippings, leaving 1 tablespoon in the skillet; toast the bread on one side in the drippings until golden (do this in batches, adding more drippings as needed). Place the bread, toasted-side down, on a baking sheet.
- Combine the cheeses with the mayonnaise, scallions and parsley in a bowl. Spread the cheese mixture on the toasts, reserving about 1/3 cup. Crumble the bacon on top. Shake any excess liquid from the tomatoes; distribute the zucchini and tomatoes among the toasts. Dot with the reserved cheese mixture and season with pepper. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.

I am a true foodie!. And now that I have made the commitment to losing some excess baggage, I look for good tasting dishes. This is one I use as breakfast, but it is good for any time. I prefer Pepperidge Farms Light Style Wheat. I also use locally grown medium sized tomatoes from the farmers' market whenever I can.
