Heat a medium soup pot or deep sided skillet over medium-high heat. To the hot pan add extra-virgin olive oil and the bacon. Cook bacon until brown and crisp, remove and drain on paper towel. Add the minced garlic and chopped celery. Peel carrots and chop into thin slices. Add the carrots to celery and stir. Cut leeks lengthwise and then into 1/2-inch half moons. Place the leeks into a colander and run under rushing cold water, separating the layers to wash away all the trapped grit. When the leeks are separated and clean, shake off water and add to celery and carrots. Stir veggies together, add a bay leaf and season with salt and pepper. Cook leeks to wilt, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add stock to vegetables and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add tomatoes. Cook 8 to10 minutes. Add bacon and parsley and stir. Adjust seasonings. Serve immediately.
