COPYCAT CAMPBELL'S BEAN WITH BACON SOUP



Copycat Campbell's Bean With Bacon Soup image

Found this on http://www.foodlushblog.com/2011/03/recipe-knockoff-campbells-bean-with-bacon-soup.html. Tried this yesterday and it was delish! Almost like Campbell's but not as salty and it tasted fresher. I made a few changes to the original recipe found above. I used dried beans and I don't think I let them soak or cook long enough as the beans weren't that nice "mushy" consistency that I was looking for. I've gone back to using canned beans and like the soup much better that way.

Provided by The Simple Recipe D

Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 2h30m

Yield 1 Pot, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 (15 ounce) cans navy beans
6 slices bacon, diced large
2 carrots, diced
2 -4 stalks celery, diced
1 medium onion, diced
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
1 cup tomato juice
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups tomato juice
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large soup pot, fry the bacon until most of the fat is rendered, but not crispy. (If you use pre-cooked bacon, add 1 teaspoons butter or ghee. Watch bacon carefully as it's pretty thin -- I burned the bacon 1st time around and had to start over).
  • Add carrots, celery, and onion. Cook over medium heat, stirring to get up all the bacon-y goodness, until the vegetables are softened, 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the beans, broth, 1 cup tomato juice, water and bay leaves. Partially cover and cook over low heat for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Add tomato paste & extra 2 cups of tomato juice to the soup. Cover again and cook another 20-40 minutes - or until your soup is about the thickness you like.
  • Remove bay leaf.
  • If desired, just before serving, half-puree the soup using an immersion blender, making sure to leave some whole beans and chunks intact.
  • Serve with freshly baked artisan bread!

Tips for Cooking Beans with Bacon:

  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time.
  • Use a variety of beans: Different types of beans have different flavors and textures, so using a variety of beans can add depth and complexity to your dish.
  • Cook the beans with aromatics: Aromatics, such as garlic, onion, and celery, can help to enhance the flavor of the beans.
  • Use good-quality bacon: The quality of the bacon you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. Use a thick-cut, smoked bacon for the best results.
  • Don't overcook the beans: Overcooked beans are mushy and bland. Cook the beans until they are tender but still hold their shape.
  • Season the beans well: Beans can handle a lot of seasoning, so don't be afraid to add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.

Conclusion:

Beans and bacon are a classic combination that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you're looking for a hearty soup, a flavorful salad, or a simple side dish, there's a recipe in this article that's sure to please.
