Directions
1Combine all soup ingredients except cream into slow cooker. I used a 6L slow cooker
2Cook on low for 6hrs
3Using a stick blender/immersion blender, blend soup to smooth consistency
4Stir through cream
5Prepare each bread bowl by slicing off a lid and tearing out centre bread – leaving a thick wall of bread remaining inside the crust. Tear up removed bread (and lid if you like or leave that whole) into chunks.
6Place each bread bowl inside a wide soup bowl and arrange bread chunks for dipping around each
7Fill each bread bowl with soup. Garnish with a dollop of mascarpone cheese and chives
8Serve immediately
Notes
1I love the pairing of bacon with a creamy tomato soup and this one doesn’t disappoint. With the addition of fresh basil and some vegetables too this is both delicious and nutritious.
2Great for your next dinner party or just an everyday treat for the family to enjoy 😊

This is the best soup and if you double it you can use it for pasta sauce for spaghetti, just brown your mince with onions and add the soup and pour over cooked spaghetti, it’s delicious best spaghetti I’ve had

I’ve made this several times now, with a few adjustments. For the soup, I followed the recipe exactly, except left out the bacon. For the bread bowls, I took out the centre, then covered the inside of the bread bowl in garlic butter and placed it under the grill to toast. It comes out garlicy and toasty and yummy!
Instead of adding the bacon to the soup when it cooks, I fry up some prosciutto crumbles and then add those on top of the mascarpone cream (you’re right…it’s essential and adds such decadence!) at the end just before serving.
