Step 1: Combine all ingredients except bacon in a large pan.
Step 2: Bring it to a boil over medium high heat, stirring as it heats.
Step 3: Reduce heat, cover, an simmer for 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Step 4: Add bacon and serve it up garnished with parsley, a sprinkle of cheese, or a little paprika for color.
Step 5: Note: The original recipe came to me with an additional 1 cup of frozen green beans, but they just didn't make the "family cut." Try them and see what you think.
