Terrific Tuesday

 We had overnight lows of 54 degrees.  Can it get much better than that!

Walking is such a joy with no bugs and no humidity and no horrible heat!  This entire week is going to be more autumn-like☺

Mom made Miss Cecilia's soup recipe on Sunday.   She left it chunky because that's the way she likes it and she did add celery instead of the onion.    This is the recipe:

White Bean, Bacon, Tomato Soup

INGREDIENTS

4 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cups chicken broth

2 cans white beans (either Great Northern or navy), drained and rinsed

1 can diced tomatoes

½ teaspoon thyme

½ teaspoon cumin

Kosher salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Cook bacon pieces in a medium stock pot until they are starting to brown, stirring often.  Add the onions and cook, stirring, until tender.  Drain off any excess pan drippings.

Stir in all the other ingredients and bring up to just boiling, then turn down to a simmer and let it cook about 10 minutes.  Use a potato masher to break up some of the beans to thicken the soup, and serve with a crusty bread.

EASY PEASY AND OH SO YUM!  

It sure was yummy and we will be making this one again for sure!

Happy Tuesday!

Love ya lots♥
