If You Grew Up Eating Campbell’s Mmm-mm-Good Soup, You Will Love This

I was perusing the soup isle at the grocery store the other day because I needed a can of cream of chicken soup. When my eyes landed on the Bean and Bacon soup I just couldn’t get it out of my mind. I loved eating Bean and Bacon soup when I was a kid, it was so creamy and satisfying. I almost picked up a can but when I saw how much it cost for what was sure to be one meal I hesitated. I knew I could make a whole pot of soup for my family and have enough for leftovers if I made it myself, and even though I grew up on the taste of the Campbell’s version I know that anything made fresh tastes so much better and is better for you.

Boy was I right. This soup is really easy to make and is so delicious that I am already looking forward to making it again. There is something about a bowl of this, cupped in your hands, that just warms you to the core. So while the commercial jingle says “Mmm..Mmm..Good.” I am now singing a new tune that states “Ahh Ahh Amazing!”

I love that this uses canned northern beans, but for you die hard Insta-Pot chefs, go ahead and start with dry beans and cook them up first. Talk about stretching your food budget dollars.

This is what Deborah of Taste and Tell has to say about this childhood favorite.

“Skip the can – Filled with veggies and chunks of bacon, it’s the soup that blows that soup of my childhood out of the water. Seriously – this bean and bacon soup was so good – there will be no more cans of soup in my future!”

Quick Tip: This is seriously so good you might want to go ahead and make a double batch in your crock pot or Insta-Pot and freeze some for later.

Some Things Just Take Time To Simmer.

There are times when you need to make something extra memorable and special. You know those times. Your daughter and son in law just announced they are having a baby. Your son comes home after boot camp. A sister survives breast cancer. Retirements, anniversaries, and the list goes on.

Sure it would be great to have a quick casserole that takes less than 30 minutes from the time you put it in the oven to when you can place it on the table. Some things take time. In fact I think that TIME, just like Thyme, is a very valuable ingredient.

This is one of those recipes. The kind that leave garlic smell on your fingers and an aroma that the people can inhale before you even open the door.

This is a recipe that will be part of someones memory for a long time. So get out the pot, and get ready for something amazing to happen when this famous chef shared her recipe with us, and we in turn, share it with those we love.

Bon Apetite!

This is what Anne Burrell has to say about this savory recipe.

Years ago, I was working at a tiny restaurant in Tuscany. This is where I first learned to make ragù—an unbelievably delicious sauce that I would let cook for hours and hours.

I remember getting Salisbury Steak at the School Cafeteria. THIS IS A WHOLE NEW ITEM!

The ground beef patties smothered in the a rich tomato-tangy sauce is the perfect thing to serve when you just are not sure what to serve.
Recently I bought super lean ground sirloin for 3.99 a pound! Now that makes a difference in the family grocery budget.
Plus it just tastes great. Add a side of mashed potatoes and a vegetable Sunday Dinner is served?

Everyone loves it and many even ask for seconds.
This is what the peeps at Delish.com have to say about this great recipe.

One bite is like being back home on the ranch.
