Bean and Bacon Soup from 9/03 ??

[Vicanddi]

I was checking out the fast meals on CL's home page and a recipe is listed for bean and bacon soup from the September issue. I don't remember seeing that in the issue. Anyway, I did a search and couldn't find anything. Does anybody remember this soup? Did you try it, was it any good? All that kind of stuff.....

Thanks for any feedback!:)

There was a bean & bacon soup last year (maybe it was Sept '02?) that was excellent and very easy... perhaps that's the one you are looking for?

Editing - I found it using the recipe search...

It wasn't the Mexican Ham & Bean Soup, was it? That was either September or October of last year???

It's the recipe MinEaston posted. Thanks for letting me know that it's good and easy, two of my favorite things! :D

I will have to give it a try soon, as soup just sounds good lately.
