Place the onions (or shallots), celery, green pepper, red pepper, & garlic in a food processor and process until they are a smooth puree.

In a large stock pot, saute the diced bacon until it is browned. Drain off the fat, reserving 2 tablespoons. Return the two tablespoons of bacon fat to the bacon in the pot and saute the ground beef in the bacon fat until it has browned. *If you don't wish to use bacon you can use two tablespoons of olive oil here*.
3
Add the onion/celery/bell pepper/garlic puree to the beef and saute for 5 minutes over medium heat.
4
Add all other ingredients and stir to mix well.
5
Bring to a simmer and cook, covered over medium-low heat for 30 minutes.

Remove the bay leaves and serve.
