Smoked Tomato & Basil Bisque w/ pics

I DO NOT like tomato soup, but I had a smoked tomato bisque one time and loved it.

So I finally made my own and it’s pretty damn good.

Here is the recipe I used. I did add my own homemade bacon, basil, and a little sugar (3 tblsp but I did double the recipe). The recipe says to brown some bacon with the butter, then remove the bacon bits. I left the bits in. I also added a handful of Roma tomatoes.
