Directions In a large soup pot, add the bacon and olive oil and cook over medium heat until the bacon is slightly crispy and most of the fat is rendered. Remove 2 tablespoons of the fat and discard. Add the onions, shallots, and garlic and continue cooking for another 7 to 10 minutes, or until the vegetables have just started to color. Lower the heat and add the chopped fresh oregano and chipotle powder, and stir to combine; cook for another 2 minutes. Add the fresh or canned tomatoes and the chicken stock and cook for 30 minutes over low heat. Add the cooked beans, marjoram, salt, and pepper and simmer for another 3 minutes.
