I've been busy trying new recipes, but haven't found a whole lot of winners lately....tonight I made this for the 1st time. It was really a mixture from a few recipes. It was pretty tasty, and smelling it cook was nothing short of amazing! This was also my 1st time soaking beans, which really wasn't anything at all... I'm not sure why the whole concept scared me so much!
Ham and Bean Soup
1 lb. dried, mixed beans...mine was a 17 bean variety from Trader Joe's
4 cans of broth, I used 2 chicken, 2 beef
3 cans of water
1 pkg. Lipton onion soup mix
1 ham shank, I think mine was about 1.5 lbs.
1 t. minced garlic
1 c. carrots
1 c. celery
Soak beans overnight. Drain and rinse. Put all in a big pot and bring to a boil. Simmer for at least 45 minutes or until beans are tender. Remove ham shank and shred the ham and put the pieces back in the pot. Yummy!
***I did take a ladle full and mash some of the beans in my food chopper to thicken it up...this was mostly for the children's benefit!
