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.

Time 2h30m

Yield 1 Pot, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

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:

Soak the beans overnight. This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
Use a good quality bacon. The bacon is one of the main flavors in this soup, so it's important to use a good quality product.
Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender, but not mushy.
Add the vegetables in stages. This will help to prevent them from overcooking.
Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
Serve the soup hot. This soup is best served hot, with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
