Apple Bacon Tomato Soup

SUBMITTED BY: Jennifer Fey PHOTO BY: Babzil

"A rich, flavorful, surprising soup. Warm and soothing in the winter. By the second day the sauteed apples have really infused the soup and it is so tasty! Could be wonderful with mozzarella cheese grated on top just before serving."
