Rinse the dried beans and soak them in plenty of cold water overnight, or use a quick-soak method (cover beans with water, bring to a boil for 2 minutes, then let stand for 1 hour). Drain the beans.

In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot. [cite: General soup preparation.]

Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and sauté in the bacon fat until softened, about 8-10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. [cite: General soup preparation.]

💡 Consigli Professionali
- ✓For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth. You can add a smoked paprika for a smoky flavor. [cite: General vegetarian soup preparation.]
- ✓If you don't have dried beans, you can use canned beans. Add them during the last 20-30 minutes of simmering, just to heat through. [cite: General soup preparation.]
- ✓A splash of red wine can be added when sautéing the vegetables for an extra layer of flavor. [cite: General soup preparation.]
