Tomato Basil Soup

You can use a slow cooker for this recipe if you would like. My mother in law recently broke hers so we used a soup pot on the stove top. In the bottom of the pot heat some olive oil, saute onion and garlic. Add bacon and cook until crisp. Drain grease. Add tomatoes, basil and chicken stock. Simmer on low for about 2-3 hours. Thirty minutes before serving add milk and heat through. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese on top with crusty bread. Enjoy!!
