Ingredients
4 baby bok choy or 1/2 of a large bok choy 3 strips of bacon 1 onion, chopped 1 carrot, sliced 1 pint cherry tomatoes or 28-oz (796-mL) can diced tomatoes, drained 900-mL carton chicken broth 1/4 cup (50 mL) tubetti or tiny farfalle pasta 19-oz (540-mL) can white kidney beans 1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped fresh dill
Directions
Rinse bok choy, separating leaves slightly to remove grit. Slice lengthwise into quarters. If using large bok choy, thinly slice. It should measure about 4 cups (1 L). Thickly slice bacon and place in a large saucepan set over medium. Cook until bacon is crispy, about 3 min.

Meanwhile, prepare onion and carrot. Drain fat from pan, leaving about 1 tbsp (15 mL). Add onion, carrot and tomatoes to bacon. Stir, then pour in broth. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Add pasta and cook until just tender, 5 to 10 min.

While pasta is cooking, drain and rinse beans. Stir into soup along with bok choy. Simmer until bok choy starts to wilt, 3 more min. Stir in dill. Ladle into bowls and enjoy with crusty bread.
