Smoked White Bean Soup

White Bean Soup with Pancetta

Beans are not just for vegetarians!

Perfect as a warming entree or as a side dish to roasted pork loin, fish, or a delicious roasted rosemary lemon chicken, this White Bean Soup gets its slightly smoked flavor from pancetta and smoked paprika. To make an even heartier, nutritious meal, serve with cooked quinoa in the bottom of the bowl or add some diced avocado on top.
