B&B soup

Recipe adapted from Nospoonnecessary

I didn’t have all of the ingredients so I modified the recipe. No cream, carrots, or celery.

Here is a fun recipe for you!

It’s delicious and hearty. It’s sort of healthy except for the bacon fat. My measurements aren’t exact but they are a good place to start. I feel like you can’t mess up this soup unless you add too much salt.

Ingredients:

Pack of bacon (cut into chunks- I cut it when it’s partially defrosted because it’s easier to cut)

1 medium onion chopped

2 cans of chicken broth

2 cans of cannellini beans

sprig of rosemary

2 bay leaves

A chunk of parm. put your index finger and thumb together to make a circle. That’s the size

2 teaspoons of minced garlic

1 teaspoon of salt and pepper

1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes

2-4 handfuls of kale

Directions:

Sautee bacon until crispy

Pull the bacon out and drain on a paper towel

Add chopped onion, garlic, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes to bacon fat and saute for about 3 minutes

Add chicken stock and beans

Then add a sprig of rosemary, bay leaves, and a chunk of parm

Boil for 15-20 minutes

Around 15 minutes pull out 2 ladles of soup into a bowl and mash with a potato masher or immersion blender, then put it back into the soup. This makes the soup creamier

After you add the mashed bean mixture to the soup add the kale and bacon

Cook for another 2ish minutes

Serve with warm bread and butter! I used beckman’s sourdough take and bake. It’s so good guys. Crispy on the outside and soft/sour on the inside.

I hope you like the recipe and I hope I didn’t miss anything hahaha
