Cook bacon in a soup pot or Dutch oven until crisp. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Discard all but about 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease.
Add onions, carrots and celery to the hot bacon grease. Cook over medium heat until they start to soften, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook another minute. Stir in the chicken broth and beans. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a bubble; reduce heat to low; simmer for 1 hour.
Remove 1/2 of the soup to a blender or food processor.; process until smooth. Return the puree to the soup pot; stir into the remaining soup. Add the tomato sauce and ¾ of the reserved bacon; stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Let the soup simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Serve topped with the reserved bacon.
