White Bean With Crispy Bacon Soup – The Yummiest Soup For The Winter Blues

January 23, 2017 By Vanessa Beaty 1 Comment

I love winter, I really do. One of the things I really love about it is sitting inside cooking and watching the snow outdoors. If you’re like me, you love creating comfort foods that help to ward off those winter blues. Bean and bacon soup is a staple dish that dates back for decades. I remember my mother making this dish so many times when I was growing up, and it continues to be one of my all-time favorite dishes.

White Bean With Crispy Bacon Soup - The Yummiest Soup For The Winter BluesLiving in the south, we eat a lot of pinto beans. However, white beans are my favorite and this recipe uses white beans, along with bacon, to create an amazing, warming dish that even your children are sure to love. The beans soak overnight which helps to make them cook faster. You only have to cook the dish for about an hour and a half. It’s a great dish to have simmering in the background while you clean house or play with the kids during snowy days.

With carrots, celery, tomatoes, white beans, and bacon, this dish is sure to hit the spot on those cold evenings. It’s really simple to make, once you get the preparation finished, and goes wonderful with cornbread or homemade buttermilk biscuits. It’s also a great dish for next day leftovers, so be sure to fix a big pot and enjoy for lunch the following day!
