Directions
Chicken, Bacon and White Bean Soup Portuguese Style, One of Emeril Lagasse’s favorites This is a soup his mom would always cook He describes it as a stick-to-your-ribs soup Enjoy! *Note: the dried beans need to soak for at least 8 hours You could do that overnight* (For a quick soak, bring the beans and water to a boil over high heat and cook for 2 minutes at the boil, then remove from the heat and allow to stand for 1 hour Drain ) Prep time does not include soaking the beans , I very much enjoyed this soup! Used Great Northern beans, turkey bacon and the chicken that comes in the packet like tuna does Didnt have the bacon grease so I added olive oil to saute the vegetables in Instead of the cayenne pepper I added a pinch of red pepper flakes Couldnt wait for the soup to get done as it smelled delicious and it tasted just as good! Light, simple, and flavorful soup I enjoyed for lunch When finished dieting will make this again with real bacon Thank you for sharing LIF! Made and reviewed for the Culinary Quest 2016 – Azores required , Very good! I made the recipe as directed It was delicious
