This is really easy and quick to make. And perfect to warm you up on a cold winter day. It's a great way to use up leftover ham too.

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 can(s) great northern beans; drained and rinsed (or use dry beans & soak overnight)
1/2 lb bacon, fried crispy and crumbled
1/2 lb ham, diced & fried golden brown
3 medium carrots, diced
3 celery stalks, diced
1 medium onion, minced
1/2 tsp thyme, dried
1 tsp garlic powder
1 can(s) tomato paste (6 oz)
6 c vegetable stock
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
salt & pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Place all ingredients except wine vinegar, beans, salt and pepper in a large kettle. Simmer until veggies are tender. Add beans until cooked through. Stir in vinegar. Season with salt & pepper if needed. NOTE: If using dry beans that you have soaked overnight, put them in the kettle with the veggies..simmer until beans are cooked through.
  • 2. Use an immersion blender to puree some of the beans in the pot to thicken to your desired consistency.
  • 3. You probably won't need to add salt to this as there is plenty from the bacon and ham. I used lower sodium bacon and it was perfect.

I'm not a big fan of ham or bacon, but I still enjoyed this soup. The beans and vegetables made it hearty and filling, and the broth was very flavorful.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a hit. I usually add some chopped kale or spinach for extra greens.

I added some chopped carrots and celery to this soup and it was delicious. I also used low-sodium ham and bacon, which made it a healthier option.

This soup was a disappointment. The flavor was bland and the texture was watery. I wouldn't recommend it.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always delicious. The ham and bacon add a nice smoky flavor, and the beans and vegetables make it hearty and filling. I like to serve it with a side of crusty bread.
