Red Bean and Bacon Soup image

A hearty winter soup - do not be put off by the colour as it is made with kidney beans but garnished with sour cream and a few chives makes it very pretty - I sometimes drop a handful of tom thumb tomatoes in while it is simmering and then you get a lovely extra burst of flavour in your mouth.
