White Bean Soup

8 ounces nitrate free bacon, diced (Organic Prairie, hardwood smoked uncured bacon is the one I usually use.  I get it at Fred Meyer in the frozen health food section of the store.)

6-7 carrots, sliced
4 stalks celery, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, diced
1 t. thyme leaves
2 14 oz. can White  kidney beans, drained and rinsed with water in a strainer.
1 14 oz. can Red kidney beans, drained and rinsed with water in a strainer.
2 T. pure tomato paste
1 liter homemade chicken stock or 2 Rapunzel vegetable bouillon with sea salt cubes and 1 liter water
salt and pepper to taste

Fry diced bacon until browned then add carrots, onion, garlic, and celery lightly saute for 5 min. on med heat. Add thyme.  Add drained beans, stock, and tomato paste.  Simmer for 45 min.
