Ingredients

Servings
  • ½ lb Bacon diced
  • 1 Spanish onion finely diced (about 2 cups, large
  • 2 carrot finely diced (about 2 cups, medium
  • 5 celery ribs finely diced (about 2 cups
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (optional)
  • 1 lb great northern beans soaked overnight* and drained, or cannellini beans
  • 2 quarts water 8 cups
  • 1 Parmesan Cheese optional, rind

Notes

  • If you didn’t soak your beans overnight, you can use the quick soak method: Cover beans with water and bring up to a boil. Cover and turn off the heat and let soak for 1 hour. Proceed with recipe as written.
  • You can substitute 3-4 cans of beans in place of the dried beans. Reduce the water to 5 cups and only simmer for 30 minutes (or more if desired).
