Bacon, Beans & Onion Soup
This Foxy Cuisine Original is a delicious and hearty Bacon, Beans and Onion soup. Soups are always great for using up items that are near the end of their shelf life. That's how this yummy recipe was born. The beauty of this soup is how very tasty it is and how quickly it develops its flavor. It took about 35-40 minutes from prep to bowl to execute. Check out my video for those who'd like see a quick step-by-step summary.
