Ingredients:  
10 slices bacon, finely chopped (or omit and replace with 1 T olive oil)
2 medium onions, chopped
Liquid smoke, to taste
6 garlic cloves, minced
1-1/2 C chicken broth
2 cans Rotel, 1 mild and 1 original (or 2 can fire-roasted tomatoes)

Directions:
Directions:
Put bacon into a large heavy pot on medium heat. Cook until it starts to give up its fat, about 4 minutes (if omitting bacon, heat oil in large pot on high heat). Add onions and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add 1-2 tsp Liquid Smoke and cook stirring until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add bouillon, tomatoes, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and chili powder. Stir in the beans.

At this point, I use an immersion blender to chop some of the beans and tomatoes, leaving some unchopped for texture (or omit this step).

Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil Adjust the heat so the soup is bubbling gently and cook for 10 minutes. Add additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Meanwhile, coarsely chop cilantro and stir it into the soup. Cook soup until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in lime juice and serve, with garnishes.
