Ingredients

1/4 lb bacon, diced
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups peeled chopped potatoes (recommend Yukon Gold)

2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 (8 ounce) can white beans, drained

Steps:

Cook bacon on medium heat in a large saucepan until lightly browned and fat is rendered. Use a slotted spoon to remove bacon from the pan. Set on a plate lined with a paper towel.
Add the chopped onion to the pot, cook in the bacon fat on medium heat until soft. Add the minced garlic and cook a minute more. Add the chopped peeled potatoes and cook a few minutes more.

My New Zealand SIL's recipe. We love it for lunch on a weekend, and are more likely to eat it in Spring or Autumn than the dead of winter.

Ingredients

500 g smoked streaky bacon, rind, removed, and, diced
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons butter
1 (880 g) can cooked peeled tomatoes
1 liter chicken stock (cubes or powdered are ok)
3 sprigs fresh herbs (a mix of lemon thyme and marjoram and parsley are my choices)
1 (880 g) can 3 bean mix, rinsed and drained
Tabasco sauce
fresh ground pepper
chopped parsley
shaved parmesan cheese or shredded parmesan cheese, to serve

Steps:

Cook the onion and bacon until the onion is softened.
Add the garlic and cook for another couple of minutes.
Add the tomatoes and break them up in the pan.
Add the chicken stock and herbs and simmer for about 20 minutes.
Remove the herb sprigs, add the beans and cook for about 5 more minutes to heat through.
Add the Tabasco and pepper to taste.
Sprinkle liberally with chopped parsley.
Serve with shaved parmesan and crusty bread.

Tips:

Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they are meaty and have few seeds.
Don't be afraid to add more vegetables. This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or zucchini.
Use a good quality bacon. The bacon is one of the main flavors in this soup, so it's important to use a bacon that you enjoy the taste of.
Don't overcook the soup. The soup is best when the vegetables are still slightly crunchy.
Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt. This will add a creamy richness to the soup.

Conclusion:

This tomato bacon bean soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give this one a try!
