Ingredients

  • 4 Bacon strips
  • 3 carrot chopped, large
  • 2 celery chopped, stalks
  • 1 onion chopped, small
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • salt to taste, sea salt and freshly cracked
  • black pepper to taste, sea salt and freshly cracked
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 (15.5 oz) White beans canned, drained
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp parsley chopped, fresh

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large Dutch oven, fry the bacon until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Let cool, chop, and set aside.
  2. Over medium heat, add the carrot, celery, and onion to the pan drippings in the Dutch oven and sauté for 7 minutes; add the garlic and sauté for an additional 60 seconds, stirring constantly. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
  3. Add 2 cans of beans, bay leaf, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Let simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the carrots and celery are soft.
  4. Uncover and remove the bay leaf. Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, partially mash the bean mixture until it thickens slightly.
  5. Stir in the last can of beans, parsley, and bacon. Taste and re-season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, if needed. Enjoy.
