Step by Step Method

Step 1

Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan, reserving 1 tablespoon bacon drippings in the Dutch oven.

Step 2

Increase the heat to medium high. Add the butternut squash and the next 8 ingredients (through garlic) to the drippings in the pan. Saute 8 minutes, stirring occassionally. Add the chicken stock, scraping the pan to loosen any browned bits.

Step 3

Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the uncooked pasta. Cook for 10 minutes. Stir in the cannellini beans, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the pasta is cooked.

Step 4

Divide the soup evenly among 4 bowls. Sprinkle the reserved bacon on top.
