Directions

• In large stockpock or frying pan cook your bacon. Set aside bacon for later.

• Add juice of a lime.
• Add your tomatoes. Drain the juice when using canned tomatoes.
• Now in a blender add all the ingredients from your stock pot into your blender. In addition add your half and half plus 1 cup of your chicken stock. Pulse until mix thoroughly. Should be much thicker than a bisque consistency.
• Once everything is blended together, pour back into the stockpot.
• Add and stir remaining chicken stock.
• Add your cooked bacon (leaving some for garnishing)
• Add your chopped Feta cheese.
• Stirring until its all mixed together.
