In large skillet, sauté bacon over medium heat until bacon renders its fat and is browned and crisp. Remove bacon from the pan and set it aside, leaving the fat.
Add thyme and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add kale and cook, stirring frequently, until kale is wilted, about 2 minutes.
Add beans, sun-dried tomatoes, Kitchen Accomplice Veggie Broth Concentrate or Vegan Plant-Based No-Bone Broth Concentrate, and water, stirring to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover skillet and simmer until kale is tender and beans are warmed through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the reserved bacon and season to taste with salt and pepper.
