INGREDIENTS:

• 3 15 oz cans navy beans, rinsed and drained
• 4 slices center cut bacon, chopped
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 large carrot, chopped
• 1 large celery stalk, chopped
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 4 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary (I used a bouquet garni for tosing)
• 3 cups baby spinach

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a blender, blend 1 can of beans with 1 cup of water.
2. Press Saute button then cook the bacon until crisp. Set aside on paper towels.
3. Add the onion, carrots and celery to the pot and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste then add the pureed beans, beans, broth, rosemary and bay leaves.
4. Cook on high pressure 15 minutes. Let the pressure release, remove rosemary and bay leaves. Place 2 cups of the soup in the blender and puree to thicken, then add back to the soup along with the spinach and stir until wilted. To serve, ladle into 6 bowls and top with bacon.
