Ingredients:
2 kg of tomatoes chopped. You may skin them if you wish.
4 brown onions peeled and chopped

Approx 2 litres of chicken stock
¼ teaspoon chilli flakes (or to your liking)
Method:
In a large saucepan sauté the onions slowly in the butter till caramelizing, add the bacon and stir a few minutes, then add the stock, tomatoes and lemon pepper.
