Instructions

In a large saucepan, fry the bacon until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Let cool, chop and set aside.

Over medium heat, sauté the celery, onion, and garlic (about 3-5 minutes). Add the beans and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Let simmer for 10 minutes.

Uncover and, with a potato masher or large slotted spoon, partially mash the bean mixture until it thickens slightly.

Stir in the parsley, salt, pepper and bacon.

Serve hot.
