Direction :

Use a good stainless pot, olive oil, pan sear the chicken breast.  Just sear the meat until meat are slightly brown but not fully cooked. Set aside.

Use the same pot, add the streaky bacon, onion and cook till soft. Add garlic, celery bell peppers and all the vegetables into the pot.  Chicken stock, bay leave, dice tomatoes and all the herbs. Boil the soup for 15 - 20 minutes in medium fire.

Chicken Breast cut into big chuncks and set aside.   Add Kidney beans and chicken into soup. Salt and pepper to taste.

If you think the soup is not sour enough, you may add a little "ketchup or apple cider vinegar".

Make sure you taste the soup from time to time to make sure everything is fine. 

If you want this soup vegetarian, just skip the meat.

Parmersan cheese and some fresh basil works wonder with this soup.

Love it!
