Preparation
Cook bacon in large saucepan over medium-high heat until crisp. Drain reserving 3 tbsp (45 mL) drippings; set bacon aside. Return reserved drippings to pan. Add onion and garlic and sauté over medium-high heat until softened.
Add and break up tomatoes with their juice, soy sauce and basil. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes.
