Ingredients
Soup
1/2an oniondiced
3clovesof garlicminced
5slicesof hamno need to dice them beforehand (or about 2 cups pre-cooked diced ham)
2small russet potatoespeeled and diced
1large or 2 small sweet potatoespeeled and diced
1cupdry Great Northern Beansrinsed
1 1/2tpaprika
1/2tsalt
1/8tspblack pepper
8cupschicken or vegetable broth
To Serve:
4slicesof bacon
Instructions
Put all ingredients except the bacon in a crockpot and cook on low for 8-9 hours (if you're worried about your beans not getting soft enough, you can soak them overnight in water before adding them, but I've never had any problems with any beans not getting completely soft in my crockpot).
With an immersion blender, blend the soup until it is thick, but not smooth (unless you want it to be smooth, in which case, by all means, keep going until it's completely smooth). Alternatively, transfer the soup carefully to a blender, in batches if necessary, and pulse a few times to combine it.
Fry your bacon, crumble it up and sprinkle on top of the soup. Serve immediately.
