Bean and Bacon Soup – Ready in 10 Minutes

This soup is really just assembly only, as long as you’ve got the bacon and onions in the freezer. It’s a good one to keep in mind for those nights when you really don’t have time to cook, but everyone needs to be fed.

The bacon, onion and tomatoes add a lot of flavor to the beans.  It reminds me of the flavor of Italian Sausage and Bean Soup.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2-3 slices of bacon, diced and fried
  • 1/2 onion, diced and cooked with bacon
  • 1 can butter beans
  • 1 can kidney beans
  • 1 can pinto beans
  • 1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 box (or 2 cans) chicken broth
  • 1/2 tsp. oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste

If you have the bacon and onion already cooked and frozen, pop it in the microwave to thaw a bit.  Toss everything into a soup pot and heat.

That’s it! Add cornbread or a sandwich and you’re good to go.

    One of my all-time favorite soups. I love Campbell’s bean and bacon, but I bet home-made just blows Campbell’s away….
    Thanks for sharing

    Just added this to the menu plan for next week. This is my very favorite Campbell’s soup variety, but I have stopped buying it because there is sooooo much salt in it. Can’t wait to try this. Thanks for posting.

    I’m putting this on my list for dinner this week. It looks perfect for the chilly nights we’ve been having. Happy New Year! ;)

    Made this a couple of days ago and it is delicious, just like my favorite Campbells, only better. This will certainly be a new addition to our menu rotation.

  8. I am making this tonight. How important is the oregano? (I am not a huge oregano fan…..)

    I’m excited to try this! Do you drain the beans?

    Are butter beans known by any other name? I have never heard of them and I don’t know if i can find them in my local stores. Thanks,
