Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 sweet onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 3 carrots chopped
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • ½ cup red pepper finely chopped
  • ½ cup green pepper finely chopped
  • 2 cups Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and diced
  • 28 ounces canned Navy beans
  • 1 Tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 32 ounces chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
  • cooked bacon optional topping

Instructions
 

  • Place the olive oil and vegetables in a 4 or 6 quart slow cooker.
  • Drain and rinse the beans. Add to the slow cooker.
  • Add the spices, tomato paste, broth, and water, and stir.
  • Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours, or low for 6 hours.
  • Stir in the red wine vinegar. Taste the soup and add more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Use an immersion blender to slightly blend part of the soup. You just want to break up the beans a little bit. You could also use a potato masher if you prefer.
  • Serve topped with crumbled bacon, chopped green onion, or crackers.

Notes

Store leftover soup in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for 4 days.
If you prefer to cook this on the stove, place all ingredients in a soup pot, and bring to a boil, then simmer for 40 minutes.
You need to use canned beans for this recipe, not dried beans.
