rustic soup

I saw a recipe in the food network mag. So, I made it somewhat to the recipe, but not so close that I can't call it my own! Rustic Soup: 1 can of cannelinni beans- drained, 3 large carrots cut up, 1 red pepper-chopped, 2 stalks of celery chopped, 4 ounces of bacon cut up and not cooked, 5 cups of water. I put all of this in the crock pot and walked away(cooking 7 hours) to work for the day. The house smelled so great when I opened the door, yum! Blessings! P.S.I did add a slice of rustic bread to the bottom of the soup bowl to add something to the soup, great tasting!
