Description

A thick, hearty soup where pork, bacon, and beans joyfully come together—best friends forever. When selecting your ingredients, keep in mind that broth is required, and it’s up to you to decide what kind to use. This recipe allows for making the soup with vegetable broth, resulting in a lighter version, or with pork broth, which will give you a robust stew, perfect for cold weather and after a long workday. Additionally, feel free to choose any type of beans, but it's important to remember: white beans are a bit softer and lend the dish a delicate, creamy flavor.
