(revised to meet my paleo eating. Add 2 cups freshly cooked navy beans if you tolerate them)
Serves 8-10
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled and sliced thick
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 bay leaf

In medium skilled, cook bacon until golden. Add onion and cook until soft and tender. Stir in tomato paste & 1 cup of the broth. Bring to a simmer.
