Bacon soup

It's what it sounds like.

Get
  • 1 package of bacon
  • 2 yellow onions
  • shallot
  • garlic
  • lemon
  • 4 large tomatoes
  • 2 cans cannelloni beans
  • squash (garnish)

Do:
  • 5:35pm: saute one pound of bacon in soup pot
  • 5:45pm: remove bacon, set aside
  • 5:45pm: soften 3 red onions, chopped
  • 5:55pm: add 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 5:58: dice bacon, add to soup
  • 6:00: drain beans, add to soup
  • 6:02: add canned tomato to soup without draining
  • 6:10: dice fresh tomato, add to soup
  • 6:13: add dry thyme to soup
  • 6:15: cover, simmer on medium low
  • 6:20: slice 3 yellow squash, thick
  • 6:27: coarsely chop 1 yellow onion
  • 6:30: soften yellow onion with 1tbsp butter, salt, pepper
  • 6:40: set aside onion
  • 6:50: brown sliced squash with butter
  • 7:00: plate yellow onion and squash in bowl
  • 7:03: blend soup with emersion blender
  • 7:05: season soup with whatever (thyme, chili, cayenne, salt, pepper)

Result:
  • yellow onions not cooked enough in bowl; too crunchy
  • submerged squash was too large, ridiculous to cram into my mouth. should have cut it at least in half
  • rosemary sprigs for decoration got submerged in the soup, which is silly
  • soup was nicely flavored, but really needed lemon
