For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and use 2 tablespoons of olive oil to sauté the vegetables. Add a squeeze of lime juice just before serving for a brighter flavor. For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the garnishes. If you like a thicker soup, mash some of the beans against the side of the pot while simmering. Spice it up by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for added richness.
