This is one of my go-to batch cooking recipes as it provides lots of portions of soup, perfect for taking to work. And who could resist a tomato and bacon soup? It has bacon in it, after all. Depending on what I have at home, I often use tinned tomatoes, instead of fresh. I tend to have chicken stock in the freezer, but otherwise, try it with bone broth – or even water if you have neither.
This hearty soup is not only delicious but also easy to prepare, making it a great addition to your meal prep routine. The combination of tomatoes, bacon, and chili provides a satisfying and warming meal that's perfect for any time of the year.
