A classic soup.. so classically easy to make. I remember having this when I was a kid, so my mom was the first person I called when I had a leftover ham bone. And when she told me the recipe, I asked "Is that it??" Nothing fancy, just simple flavors in a hearty winter dish. Perfect for all the cold weather we've been having!
1 lb Navy beans
1 ham bone
1/2 C shredded carrots
1/2 C diced onion
1 Tbsp liquid smoke
Cook the beans according to the directions on the package (both the overnight soak or the quick soak work just fine). Once the beans are cooked and rinsed, in a large pot, combine all of the ingredients with six cups of water. Simmer for two hours before serving.
This soup is excellent re-heated and can easily be frozen for later use.
My mom always made this soup when I was still living at home, but I haven't had it for years. Sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteWow. I love soups like this! Beans and ham sound like they mix well together. Yum!
