Ham and bean soups Recipe
hearty soup, not a woosie puréed thing it's a meal. Not fancy just tasty and adaptable to crock pot but it is not as good. Recipe is easily reduced for smaller quantities but freezes great to provide added meals ( I freeze in one quart bags ) equals (2 bowls). Like most soups mellows for leftovers. Really nice with crunchy bread for dipping. Adapt quantity of veg to your taste, ham and ham seasoning provide enough saltiness. I use pressure cooker pot as it is the biggest one I own, and regular cover for sauce pots fit mine.
If you like ham and bean soup this is one I hope you like.
