We just got the white beans on the grocery store isle. I soaked them the day before and sprouted them (to release gas)<BR/><BR/>I cut off all I could from the bone and put it on to boil with spices like thyme, salt, pepper and one bay leaf.<BR/><BR/>After a couple of hours I strained off the bone and bit and put it back on the burner. <BR/><BR/>Added sauted onions, carrotts, celery, meat, tobassco and cooked until soft. Blend a cup or two of beans in the blender and add back to soup and cook a little until thickened. (Add whatever you like and have.)<BR/><BR/>Serve with green salad, fresh bead and salsa.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06717388726735528462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328992626141249699.post-51438151729072249842008-07-26T09:42:00.000-06:002008-07-26T09:42:00.000-06:00Got a recipe for the soup?

What sort of white beans did you use? <BR/><BR/>We have become big fans of bean/pea soup over the past year, even though none of us ate it before we started practicing to eat out of storage. I just love a smoked ham shank for soup, and DH loves sausage in soup - but a ham bone is a wonderous thing.<BR/><BR/>I envy the camper. It was a great shortcut to a guest room. And I can't help but think it would be a good place to sneak off and read or write by oneself.Matriarchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626790347402266263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328992626141249699.post-85373688587158217242008-07-26T09:35:00.000-06:002008-07-26T09:35:00.000-06:00love the white bean and ham soup - especially with...love the white bean and ham soup - especially with some green chiles thrown into the mix!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328992626141249699.post-75055860888428340232008-07-26T08:57:00.000-06:002008-07-26T08:57:00.000-06:00What a fun idea - a virtual pot-luck.

How about a potluck? :)<BR/><BR/>This gives me an idea. Maybe I'll host a "virtual" potluck on my blog. You can all show off your garden foods. :-)Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08909872672886308470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328992626141249699.post-80513170362035831572008-07-26T07:35:00.000-06:002008-07-26T07:35:00.000-06:00I do love basils!
