Easy peasy soup! We like to serve this soup with vinegar. Mom made popovers too.

1 pkg 15 bean mix

water to cover

2 cups diced smoked ham

salt and pepper to taste

Add beans, water, ham and salt and pepper to a large soup pot. Cover and cook about 2 1/2 hours, or til beans are tender, stirring occasionally.

Serve with saltines or vinegar.

That sounds yummy! I was just thinking about that... I might cheat and go out and get dinner.

Kroger has it.

Larry H. Oct 17, 2011, 6:41pm UTC

☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 17, 2011, 6:45pm UTC
Named each and counted.

That soup looks so good. I sang for a funeral today and there was a late afternoon lunch served so I won't have to fix anything at home.

I always add about a fourth of a cup of vinegar to soups with beans in them. It helps to prevent getting gas.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 17, 2011, 2:16pm UTC
And gives the soup such good flavor!
Pamela Marks Oct 16, 2011, 7:47pm UTC
oh easy and good will have to try this

I haven't seen a bean mix like that recently. I don't think that the stores around here carry stuff like that.

Bean soup is one of those things that I like making... in the North. A good autumn or winter's day is perfect for some bean soup (vegetarian, of course) and fresh bread. Mmm... Boyfriend may dread the freezing winters, but I think that the yummy food may make up for freezing. :-)
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 17, 2011, 2:16pm UTC
The yummy food does make up for the cold. Plus, I stay indoors most of the time when it's cold :)

I think he's pretty much decided that he will hide inside for about five months straight. I keep telling him that it won't be that bad. Guess he will just have to work from home...
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 18, 2011, 5:06pm UTC
That's about what I do.

Your Bean Soup looks Delicious!
we had Papa John's Pizza! :)
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 17, 2011, 2:17pm UTC
I haven't had Papa John's in years!
Diane Huizenga Oct 16, 2011, 11:51pm UTC
looks good
Heidi S. Oct 17, 2011, 1:02pm UTC
Yummy! I bought a package of the bean mix just a few days ago. Maybe soon the weather will cool off so I can make it.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 17, 2011, 2:17pm UTC
I hope it does! Let me know!
phil w. Oct 17, 2011, 4:23pm UTC
I like it ! did you count 15 kinds of beans ?
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 17, 2011, 5:58pm UTC
I did once and sure didn't come up with 15.
phil w. Oct 17, 2011, 6:10pm UTC
Nor did I !
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 17, 2011, 6:12pm UTC
LOL!

Looks tasty! I'll be making pea soup and playing some fiddle for our Scandia Fair this Saturday, put on by the Daughters of Norway. The soup will be vegan, gluten-free, and nightshade-free, and have pureed greens (kale and chard) and lemon juice to finish it. Vinegar or lemon juice does add a nice touch!
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 18, 2011, 4:15pm UTC
I LOVE pea soup! Sounds delish, especially with a touch of acid.

And playing fiddle sounds like fun!
Elaine A. Oct 19, 2011, 1:07pm UTC
Yummy it looks good!! I have to look for the bean mix
Holly K. Oct 20, 2011, 6:07pm UTC
This looks great! My son would love this.
