Soup...
On recommendation from my sister I made a pot of 15 Bean Soup yesterday. It's simple enough, the stovetop recipe is on the bag of beans and the crockpot version is on Hurst's web site. Classic ingredients -
A bag o' beans. Didn't count them but I would believe there's 15 varieties in there -
I used chicken broth and added carrots and celery as they suggest. It's supposed to include a ham bone or ham hocks and I had neither. So I cubed up a couple Hatfield ham steaks.
The recipe makes a big azz pot o' soup - maxed out my crockpot -
6 hours on high and I had dinner ready -
Gotta say that I am disappointed. The Hatfield ham is absolutely tasteless. The soup is stick-to-your-ribs hearty, but less than satisfying. It'll probably be better on day 2, but I'm thinking of what else I can add to enhance the flavor.
Thanks for looking.
