Source of Recipe


internet


List of Ingredients




6 slices lean bacon, diced
1 onion, finely chopped
1 rib celery, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, diced
2 cloves garlic, peeled, minced
1/8 tsp. crushed hot red pepper
2 cups diced tomatoes
2 1/2 cups canned white beans, drained
6 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup small pasta
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Recipe



In a heavy soup pot, sauté the bacon until it cooks part way and fat appears in the pan. Add the onion, celery, carrot, garlic and red pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are soft...About 10 minutes on low heat-- don't brown garlic. Stir in the tomatoes and cook 10 more minutes. Stir in the beans and broth. Bring slowly to a boil, then add the pasta and cook 15 minutes or so until the pasta is done. Serve with Parmesan cheese. Note: you can use turkey bacon for this recipe or another type of bean.

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.
