Instructions
- Submerge the beans in cold water by about 4 to 5 inches in a container overnight.

- Add in the tomatoes and sauté over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes or just until they start to break down.
- Deglaze with 1 cup of water or chicken stock.
- Transfer the mixture to a blender, with the center cap to the lid removed, and blend on low to medium speed until smooth.
- Add the mixture back to the pot along with the crisp bacon, drained beans, and 5 cups of chicken stock.
- Season with salt, and pepper, and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
- Add on a lid, turn the heat down to low medium, and cook for 60 to 70 minutes or until the beans are tender.
- Pour half of the beans and liquid into a blender and with the center cap of the lid removed, blend at low to medium speed until thick and smooth.
- Stir back in the mixture with the whole beans and the remaining chicken stock.
