Fry the smoked streaky bacon and garlic together in a large saucepan for 5 minutes until the bacon has started to crisp.
Add the cannellini beans and chicken stock to the saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes.
Using a potato masher, crush the beans lightly, ensuring some remain whole.
Add the greens and cook for a further 3–4 minutes before ladling into serving bowls.
Serve immediately and enjoy your simple white bean and bacon soup.
