2 slices smoked bacon, cut into thin matchsticks
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 small onion, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1 small carrot, halved and thinly sliced (3/4 cup)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons flour
2 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 cups canned diced tomatoes, well drained
2 sprigs thyme
1 fresh bay leaf
1 garlic clove, lightly crushed
2 tablespoons heavy cream

1
Render bacon over medium heat in a 3-quart saucepan until crisp, about three minutes. Remove bacon to paper-towel lined plate and set aside, reserving the rendered fat in the saucepan.
2
Increase heat to medium-high and add the butter. Saute the onion and carrot for 8-10 minutes or until very soft and beginning to caramelize, stirring occasionally.
3
Add the tomato paste and continue cooking about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture, mix well and continue cooking for another minute.
4
Gradually pour in the stock, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
5
Add the diced tomatoes, thyme, bay leaf, garlic and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer soup for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6
Remove soup from the heat. Add the heavy cream and puree with an immersion blender until smooth.
7
Season to taste and serve garnished with the crisped bacon.
