Directions
Cook bacon until crispy. Remove bacon from pan and drain off fat, leaving a slight amount for cooking pepper, onion and garlic in. Return pan to medium heat and add pepper, onion and garlic. Cook until just tender, approx. 10 minutes. Add cooked bacon, bean, corn, tomatoes, water and cumin. Simmer over medium-low heat for approx 15 minutes until bubbly and flavors have blended. Serve with sourdough bread to dip in soup and a tablespoon of sourcream on top of the soup.

Note: You can substitute sausage for the bacon as well as using any type of canned beans like pinto, navy, black, ect. I have also used tomato sauce instead of the stewed tomatoes.
