This tastes like Campbell’s Bean & Bacon soup. It is easy to make and a completely vegetarian version.

Add the tomato.
- Dice the veggie ham strips and add them, stirring well.
- Add one can of Navy beans and the water or broth.
- Season with salt, thyme (or Italian seasoning) and vinegar.
- Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for a few minutes.
