Bean with Bacon Soup

Better than the stuff in a can!

Bean with Bacon Soup
1 medium onion, diced
1 Tbsp. garlic, minced
2 Tbsp.  EVOO
1 cup carrots, sliced
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
4 cups chicken broth
1 can 8 oz. tomato sauce
2 cans great northern beans (navy, canneloni, white, whatever they call them where you live!)
8-9 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
    In a medium saucepan add the onion, garlic, carrots and EVOO and saute until vegetables are softened a little.  Add the salt, pepper, chicken broth, and beans.  Cook on medium heat for about 5-10 minutes.  Ladel about 3 cups of the soup and beans into your blender and blend until smooth.  Add the blended mixture back into the soup and heat through.  Top with the crumbled bacon just before serving.
