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...

This soup is a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if there was more broth in the recipe.

This soup was easy to make and very flavorful. I used leftover ham instead of bacon, and it turned out great. I also added some chopped kale to the soup, which made it even more nutritious.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great. I used a smoked bacon, which gave the soup a really nice flavor. I also added a pinch of cayenne pepper to give it a little kick.
