Smoky bacon contrasts with the earthy aromas of the cumin and beans in this hearty soup. It will become a family favorite, so you might want to double the recipe and freeze some for later.
Sort through beans and discard any misshapen beans or stones. In a medium saucepan, add beans and just enough water to cover. Cover pan and soak overnight. Drain; set aside.
In a heavy stockpot, cook bacon until crisp; drain and chopped. Discard fat.
Add onion, garlic and cilantro; cook until onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Add beans, cumin and chili powder. Stir well before adding water and salt. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 1 hour or until beans are tender. Stir in tomatoes and heat thoroughly.
Makes 6 servings.
Cooking Tips:
Eliminate the soaking time by using drained canned pinto beans in place of dried.
Waste not, want not tip: Store cooled-down bacon fat in an airtight container to use for sautéing in the future when you want to give that smoky bacon flavor without the bacon.
