Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients

    Start by gathering all your ingredients. If using dried beans, soak and cook them ahead of time.

  2. 2

    Cook Bacon

    In a large skillet or pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pan, add the diced onion and cook for about 5 minutes until soft. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  4. 4

    Add Asparagus

    Add the asparagus pieces to the pan and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the white beans and broth. Crumble the cooked bacon and add it back to the pan. Season with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with fresh thyme or parsley, and serve warm.
