Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is approximately 1 hour.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound bacon, chopped
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 cans navy beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Equipment

  • Dutch oven or large pot
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula
  • Ladle

Method

  1. In a Dutch oven or large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
  2. Add the onion to the pot with the bacon fat and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes.
  4. Add the navy beans, chicken broth, thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot and bring to a simmer.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  6. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it is smooth and creamy (alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot).
  7. Stir in the reserved bacon and serve hot.

Notes

If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender to blend the soup. Just be sure to let the soup cool a bit before blending, and work in batches so that the blender doesn't overflow.
