White Bean and Bacon Soup image

This recipe comes from The City Tavern cookbook. I love to watch Chef Walter Staib on the T.V. Show "Taste of History". Cooking seemed so difficult back in Colonial Days but the flavors of the food looks so fresh and wonderful. I found this soup to be very fulfilling and so good. Thank you Walter Staib for your wonderful...
