I cooked a bean soup today and we just finished eating it for supper. This soup uses canned white beans. If you want to start with dried beans, soak them overnight, or go here for another take on bean soup.
Bean Soup
4 cans (16 oz) Bush Large Butter Beans
2 cups chopped pork meat (ham, tasso, bacon)
2 cups cubed fresh potato
Salt
Pepper
Crushed garlic
Peel and cube potatoes into 1/4 inch cubes. Cube the pork into 1/4 inch chunks. Dump beans, potatoes, pork into a suitable pot. Add salt, pepper, and just a little garlic. You're going to have to add a little water. Cook until the potatoes are creamy and about to fall apart. Serve with saltime crackers.
That's what we had for supper and it's an easy, quick recipe perfect for a cold, rainy night. Comfort food at it's best.
I've been using the Navy recipe, but I'll give yours a try. THanks!
ReplyDeleteFor this sort of soup, I recommend adding a bit of (apple cider)vinegar to it when it's in your bowl. Worth trying.
ReplyDeleteAh, lima beans...
ReplyDeleteBrings back memories of opening up my little box of "C's" and extracting a can of "ham & M*f*'s" and then reaching into a pocket for a bottle of Tabasco sauce...
