4 strips bacon
1 large carrot, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
2 stalks celery, chopped (about 1 cup)

4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 Fifteen and 1/2 oz cans great Northern beans, drained

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven or saucepan, fry the bacon until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Let cool, chop, and set aside. Over medium heat, add the carrot to the pan drippings in the Dutch oven and saute for 5 minutes. Add the celery, onion and garlic, stirring well and cooking for 3 minutes more. Add the beans and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Let simmer for 10 minutes.
