SMOKY TOMATO SOUP WITH CANDIED BACON
We adapted this Food & Wine classic with help from customer Betsy W. The layers of flavor are intriguing—candied bacon, two types of paprika, orange zest—wow. The candied bacon is amazing – saving it for garnish later was the hardest part! We love the combo of our Applewood Smoked Sea Salt and Pure Maple Extract on the bacon. Also, be sure to brown the tomato paste. This step adds to depth to the tomato flavor.
