Pappasito's Pinto Bean Soup image

I found this is a stack of old handwritten recipes. I probably copied it from the Houston Chronicle?? I have not made this at home yet, so serving size and prep time are a guess. Also, I personally would drain some of the bacon fat and add the salt to taste, but I am listing it how it was originally written. Please note these beans should soak for 8 hours, so plan ahead.
