Delicious bean and bacon soup made in the crockpot with only five ingredients. Tomatoes are added at the end of the cooking time because the acid in tomatoes prevents beans from softening, even when they're cooked for hours!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1-1/4 cups Hearty Bean Soup Mix or any combination of dried beans
  • 1 onion , chopped
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 pkg. taco seasoning mix or 2 Tbsp. Homemade Taco Mix
  • 2 (14 oz.) cans diced tomatoes, undrained

PREPARATION:

Cook bacon until crisp, drain on paper towels, and crumble. In 3-4 quart crockpot, combine bacon with Hearty Bean Soup Mix, onion, water, and Taco Seasoning Mix and mix well to blend. Cover crockpot and cook on low for 10-12 hours until beans are tender. Add tomatoes, stir well, and cook on low for 30-40 minutes longer until hot.

If you like, you can mash some of the beans for a thicker soup before adding the tomatoes. 6 servings
