ham and bean soup
1 ham bone (trimmed down some, but leave some ham and fat on it)
1 bag of mixed beans, soaked overnight
1 medium white onion, diced
3 stalks of celery, diced
1 cup of carrots, chipped
1/2 cup white wine
2 Tbsp minced garlic
salt & pepper
paprika
thyme
crushed red pepper
1. Heat a large stock pot up over medium heat. Place the ham bone in to start searing the meat and rendering the fat. Turn a couple times, heating for a total of about 15 minutes.


4. Add the beans, then add water until everything is covered.
5. Stir in the spices to taste. Add some others if you'd like -- I'm sure I added some I forgot about.
6. Cook over low heat until the beans are soft, about an hour or so.
I served this with another one of favorite recipes that my mom used to make -- moist and delicious cornbread, which I'll post about soon!
This soup gets even better the next day, as the flavors all meld together. Enjoy.

MMM, that looks good. I still enjoy making bean soup, especially now that I don't have to listen to someone's complaints!!! Homemade soup and cornbread.......one of life's comfort foods!
Love, Mom
It looks wonderful, and I can almost smell it cooking now... unfortunately, I can't handle eating the beans... but I am sure it is delicious for those who like beans. (I'd just eat everything but the beans)
And the Cornbread (The recipe your grandmother has labeled as 'Corn Pie') is always wonderful! Nice for a cold evening's dinner!

This is the most disgusting recipe right under any type of stuffing... I can't believe you even posted this is an edible suggestion.
