White-Bean Soup with Bacon and Herbs
This warming soup takes inspiration from the Spanish dish caldo gallego, and combines the heartiness of white beans and crispy bacon with a light, herb-infused broth. To keep things vegetarian, you can swap the bacon fat for olive oil or butter and top the soup with another crunchy garnish of your liking, like croutons. The longest part of the process is allowing the soup to simmer and all the flavors to meld, but your patience will pay off. Plus: More Terrific Soup Recipes & Tips
