A nice tomato soup

Now we have a glut of Twyford Tomatoes which are red and not green we can make a nice soup instead of the terrible one we did with green tomato windfalls. This is my wife's recipe but similar ones exist I am sure. The key to her's is the addition of bacon - it is a classic taste combination I think. If you don't eat meat it is easy to leave it out.

1.5 lb tomatoes
One potato
One onion
Clove of garlic 
A few rashers of bacon 
Pepper
Pint and a half of stock

You can change the quantities to suit taste and how thick you like your soup. You can cook the vegetables in a little butter or oil then add the tomatoes and stock and cook until soft. Finally blitz the lot and reheat when you want to eat it. Very tasty.
