Ingredients- 200g Tomatoes or Cherry Tomatoes
- 3 strips Bacon
- 5-6 cloves Garlic
- 3 Tbsp Basil Pesto
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the ingredients. Cut the bacon into bite-sized pieces and thinly slice the garlic into slivers to enhance the garlic aroma.
Step 2
Wash the tomatoes or cherry tomatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry. If using large tomatoes, feel free to chop them into large pieces.
Step 3
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a pot or deep skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté gently until fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn it. This step infuses the oil with a wonderful garlic essence.
Step 4
Once the garlic is fragrant, add the cut bacon to the pot. Cook together until the bacon is nicely browned and has rendered some of its delicious fat, which will combine with the garlic for a richer flavor.
Step 5
As the bacon cooks, add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. The pepper will add a subtle kick and enhance the overall savory notes of the soup.
Step 6
Now, add all the prepared tomatoes to the pot. As they cook down, they will release their natural sweetness and form the base of our flavorful soup.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let the tomatoes simmer until they soften and release their juices. Resist the urge to add water! Cooking the tomatoes down concentrates their natural flavor, creating a much deeper and richer soup. Adding water would dilute this deliciousness.
Step 8
Finally, stir in 3 tablespoons of basil pesto. This ingredient adds a wonderful herbaceous depth and a hint of savory richness that elevates the tomato flavor beautifully. Stir well until combined. Serve immediately and enjoy this incredibly tasty bacon tomato soup!
