      Yes, I do love soups that are simple and quick to make, as long as they taste good! I'm making this one tonight! (I'm not kidding) I was wondering what to have for supper without going out to buy anything. This is perfect and I have everything I need, even the bacon! Thanks! I love you pics too!

      I want to make this soup this week. I'm assuming the white beans are cannellini? It looks delicious.

      Made this tasty soup after having one at a Colombian restaurant. And it definitely was easy to make, especially with ingredients readily in grocery stores. I simmered with the lid off to thicken the soup.

      Hi Erica,
      New to your site. Can I use Navy beans for this recipe or what other kind of white bean is there?
