This is one of my favorite cozy weather soups, inspired by a tomato and bacon bisque I used to love back in college. This version skips the heavy cream in favor of a generous dollop of crème fraîche. A few rashers of bacon and a smattering of Parmesan add a savory richness that, matched with the creamy tang from the crème fraîche, produces a soup that's as satisfying as a heavy cream version, but just a bit livelier.
