Tester's Notes
I made this soup to test, and it hit every note that I remembered from Carmen's magically restorative jar of soup from the swap. It's creamier than it appears in these photos, with a nice body from the pureed beans. It has the silkiness that really only comes from a ham bone or ham hock, and oodles of savory flavor. It's the perfect hearty soup for January.
One thing that is different about this soup: usually I would cook the beans together with the aromatics and bacon. But splitting the cooking processes between two pots makes sense here, as it halves the time. You can cook the beans separately while chopping vegetables, cooking bacon, and sautéing aromatics. It also gives a chunkier soup, with more discrete pieces of vegetables. It's up to you, though; if you have time, and prefer to dirty only one pot, you can cook everything together. Just add the beans, broth, and ham hock after the bacon and aromatics are ready, and cook until the beans are creamy. — Faith
