Ingredients

Ingredient Substitutes

If you don’t have (or don’t want to use) bacon, you can use ham, pancetta, or sausage, or just use 2 Tbsp. olive oil in place of bacon drippings.

No lemons? Check out what kind of vinegar you have on hand. A splash of acidity really balances out the soup.

Instructions

Cook bacon in a pot until crisp; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and reserve drippings.

Heat drippings in pot over medium. Add carrots, onions, and celery; sweat, covered, until softened, 5 minutes. Add garlic and dill; cook 1 minute. Increase heat to high.

Stir in broth and potatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer soup until potatoes are fork-tender, about 12 minutes.

Add beans, peas, and lemon juice; cook until heated through. Season soup with salt and pepper; top servings with bacon.
