For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and use 2 tablespoons of olive oil in place of bacon fat. Consider adding a diced carrot and celery along with the onion and pepper for extra depth of flavor. A pinch of smoked paprika can also enhance the smoky flavor of the soup. Adjust the spices to your preference. If you like a spicier soup, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
