Here's a simple soup I threw together for the foks that turned out real well:

Large onion, chopped
One bottle of bacon bits (the real ones)
Two cans of white beans
Two cans of vegetable broth
One package of shredded slaw
Thyme

Brown the onions and the bacon bits together, then add the other ingredients. Heat until warm and serve with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.

This soup gets plenty of salt from the bacon and the veggie broth, so I didn't add any more.
