Bacon and Whitebean Soup

Cooked this last night, like many slow cooker recipes it was pretty simple.
It needs:
Bacon
Cannellini beans
Celery
Cherry tomatoes
Liquid Chicken Stock
Chives

You cut up your celery and cherry tomatoes and put em in the slowcooker, along with your beans and chicken stock. You cut up the bacon and cook all but one rasher, then cook em for a little bit and put them in the slowcooker. Turn on your slow cooker.

In the evening when you plan to eat, you cut up and cook the last rasher of bacon and the chives.
Open the slow cooker and use an immersion blender to blend the soup, doesn't need to be thoroughly blended, the aim is for slightly chunk soup. You add some salt and pepper along with the bacon and chives and mix it.

Then serve with bread. It was really tasty and none lasted long enough to become leftovers.

  2. I made this yesterday, with a few additions. I had a sweet potato and some carrots I wants to get rid of, so I threw those in as filler. I also added garlic, onion and a but of white wine. Was awesome! I would probably not bother with the carrots in future, but te sweet potato worked perfectly. Cheers!
