Cooking Instructions
- 1
Place a large stock pot over medium heat and add bacon. Cook until bacon is crisp and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate, leaving bacon drippings in pan. Set aside.
- 2
You want about 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings in the pot, if you do not have enough fat, add extra virgin olive oil to pan until you have about 1 tablespoon of liquid (just eyeball this).
- 3
Increase heat to medium high. Add shallots, carrot, and celery to pot. Cook, stirring frequently until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, salt and pepper; cook until aromatic, 30 seconds - 1 minute.
- 4
Add white wine to deglaze pan, scraping up brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until wine is reduced to 2 tablespoon, about 3-4 minutes.
- 5
Add the chicken stock, beans with their liquid, rosemary and Parmesan.
- 6
Increase heat to high and bring soup to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cover and simmer for 15-18 minutes.
- 7
Add in the bacon, 1/4 cup of cream, chopped parsley leaves and grated parmesan. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Taste the soup, add more cream for a richer taste and texture.
- 8
(You can serve the soup as is for a brothy consistency, or you can thicken the soup with one of the two methods below.) For an ultra creamy, bisque-like texture, puree the entire soup.
- 9
Ladle soup into serving bowls. Garnish with more grated parmesan cheese, green onion, sour cream and or more garlic powder. Serve and enjoy!

Tuscan Chicken Soup Tuscan Chicken Soup
I'm a great fan of chicken soup as a natural cure for all ills, and I liked the idea of giving it an Italian twist. The original recipe uses cooked shredded chicken, but I didn't have any so I decided to buy a whole chicken, use some meat from that, use the carcass to make my own stock, and freeze whatever I didn't use for the soup. I asked the butcher to debone the chicken for me. Also, I used the last bit of my garden basil but you can use dried (as the original recipe does).

I used to serve a House Cuban or Caribbean style Black Bean Soup Specialty at a Restaurant where I worked. It was good soup, and served with Rice, Hard boiled egg, and Scallions as acoutrements. I thought I might try a hand at it.
