Pinto Bean And Bacon Soup step by step

1. Soak Beans overnight in a large pot no heat..
2. The next day, bring beans to boil on low, covered. Cook how ever long it takes to soften them. Usually 2 to 3 hours. Checking water every so often to make sure it has enough to cover beans by about 2 inches..
3. When beans are tender, I pour the beans and liquid into a bowl,set aside and clean the pot. (I just dont like the goopy residue on pot).
4. Pour beans and liquid back into pot, turn heat to low..
5. Add ALL remaining ingredients to pot. Including bacon and reserved bacon grease. Liquid should be 2 or so inches above beans..
6. Cover, simmer on low for 1 hour. Stiring every 15 minutes..
7. When done top with whatever you wish and Enjoy!.
