Bacon and bean soup for the win! Our soup is packed with bacon flavor while pureed beans add a creamy texture without the addition of cream.
Directions
Cook bacon until crisp; set aside. Cook chopped onions, celery, and carrots in bacon drippings in a large saucepan until softened. Add chicken broth, beans, rosemary, thyme, and 1/4 of the cooked bacon. Simmer, covered, 20 minutes. 
Puree half of the mixture in a food processor or blender; return to saucepan. Add 2/3 remaining bacon and tomato paste. Heat until hot. Serve topped with remaining bacon and garnish with croutons and additional fresh thyme, if desired.
