I also added the wine and cream, it was great! Also, I had to use canned beans- dried ones are hard to find here.

This recipe has a good flavor. I gave it 4 stars, because I like my beans more done than what the recipe allowed. I will make this again in the future, however I will do everything I can the night before, and then place it in the slow cooker, for the day. Then I'll add the tomatoes. My daughters and I thought it was good.

Used great northern beans; otherwise, made recipe as stated. Used an immersion blender to smooth out the texture and to thicken the soup. Great, easy recipe for a cold night's dinner!

This is the best bean soup ever! Up here in the Northwest, we are big soup fans in the cold winter months, and this soup is fantastic comfort food. It was easy too. I will have to double the recipe next time, because there were no leftovers!

Extraodinarily good! Much less salty than the canned if you use the less sodium bullion stuff.

This is an awesome soup, especially on a cold day. I added an additional cup of water during the last 15 minutes of cooking, as it got very thick.

I've made this about three times now, and it's been delicious every time. The first time, I used canned Great Northerns. The second time, I used a full 16 oz. bag of navy beans. The third time, about 1/2 a bag. All were very good, but I liked the last batch really well. I like to melt a slice of Provolone on top.

I used canned white northern Beans instead of dried beans because I was short on time. I also used Swanson's chicken broth in place of water. The soup turned out great! Being I didn't have ground cloves, I ground them myself in my coffee grinder. It worked great. (Gave my coffee a good flavor too) Yum! This is a keeper!

This was good. I doubled the recipe except for the tomatoes (which I pureed in the blender with about 2 cups of the beans) and bacon. Next time I'll use the full amount of both and reserve about 1/3 of the bacon to use as a garnish. I used kitchen sheers to cut up the bacon prior to cooking. Also, I didn't have ground cloves so I tied 4 whole ones into a piece of cheese cloth and that seemed just right flavor wise. Voted the new favorite by the kiddo.

who can resist bacon! we all loved it. It freezes great and worked well with my leftover turkey stock from thanksgiving. I followed the recipe exactly and then added 1 cup of white wine and 3/4 cup of heavy cream during the last 20 minutes. It tasted even more fabulous!

My family really liked this soup! Very heart, good flavor. I loved to use my pressure cooker, so I cooked the beans for 8 minutes, and let sit for 20 minutes and then drained them. I used 4 cans of chicken broth and I cup of water. I used all the ingredients as listed and followed the directions, except for substituting the chicken brother for the 9 cups of water. I cooked the soup at high pressure for 20 minutes. It was quick and delicious. This recipe is a keeper.
