Directions
-
Cook bacon in soup pot or Dutch oven until crisp. Remove with slotted spoon to paper towel-lined plate. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease.
-
To the hot bacon grease, add onions, carrots, celery and red pepper flakes. Cook over medium heat until ingredients begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook an additional minute. Stir in chicken broth and beans. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a slow boil; reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour.
-
Transfer half of the soup to blender or food processor. Process until smooth. Return puree to soup pot and stir. Add tomato sauce, 3/4 of the reserved bacon and lemon juice (and optional sweet corn and fresh thyme) and stir to combine. Let soup simmer until heated through, about 30 minutes. Serve topped with remaining bacon. Season to taste.
