carrots
chopped
1
stalk celery
chopped
1
15 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed (I used Trader Joe's Cuban Black Beans)

Instructions
Cook bacon according to
post instructions
. Set cooked bacon aside on a paper towel to drain and reserve a tablespoon of the bacon drippings.
Saute the onion, celery, and carrot in the bacon grease over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly brown, 5-8 minutes.
Add all remaining ingredients except for the bacon. Cook over medium heat 20-30 minutes until the veggies are nice and tender.
Use a potato masher to mash the soup. This will thicken it up and make it more stew-like.
Top with bacon.
