    Review Posted by: arelabs / One of the things I made today is Bacon & Bean Soup. I used Cittie's posted recipe. I didn't change anything, other than adding extra carrots, celery and broth. I used one can of 14 1/2-oz diced tomatoes, drained, and two 15-oz cans Great Northern Beans, drained. For the broth, I had two cups of homemade broth from boiling a leftover piece of chicken, and I used three 14 1/2-oz cans of chicken broth (Sue Bee). Thank you Cittie for posting an easy, delicious recipe. Arlene

    Arlene's note: I took out approx a cup of the beans, smooched them, and added them back to the soup for a little thickness.
