Recipe Introduction

I didn't use the milk. Because of the beans (and the fact that I used potato) it was still creamy. It is even better as leftovers!

2 cups cold water
6 thick slices bacon

Cook bacon in medium skillet over medium heat. Drain and crumble. Combine carrot, celery, onion, turnip, Italian seasoning, pepper, beans, bacon in slow cooker (crockpot), mix slightly. Pour broth over top. Cover and cook on low 7½ to 9 hours, or until beans are crisp and tender.
