Instructions
-
1
Heat a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and cook until brown crispy, about 5–7 minutes. Remove the crispy bacon with a slotted spoon and leave it to drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.
-
2
Add the onion, carrot, celery, dried thyme and 1 teaspoon of salt to the leftover hot bacon grease. Let the vegetables cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add in the apple cider vinegar and drained cannellini beans, fresh sage and stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for 15 minutes.

3
Remove the sprigs of sage. Then, in batches, ladle the hot soup into a blender and blend until smooth, taking care to only fill the blender halfway (hot liquids expand when blended and will result in a scalding mess if you overfill the blender). You can also use an immersion blender if you have one.
-
4
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and the juice of one lemon. Taste and add salt and pepper as necessary.
-
5
Portion the soup into bowls and sprinkle with bacon, taking care to weigh and portion the bacon so that each serving gets an even amount of garnish.
-
6
Store the remaining soup in the refrigerator or freeze.
