    Ham & Bean Soup




    Bean Soup

    I only make this after we have had a ham dinner and I have hambone and lots of ham pieces leftover.

    In a large stock pot of water add:
    Package of Navy Beans that have soaked overnight and been rinsed.
    Ham Bone with lots of meat sticking to it.
    Two medium onions chopped
    3 large carrots chopped (or a bunch of baby carrots chopped if that's what you have)
    2 ribs celery chopped
    3 cloves garlic minced
    1 TBSP horseradish
    1 TBSP Tony Cachere's creole seasoning


    Set to boil then turn down to a simmer for 8 hours. Stir about once an hour and add water as needed to keep it soupy.

    About an hour before serving Remove the bone and big ham chunks that have separated. (put the meat back in after chopping to bite sized pieces) and add more leftover chopped ham.
    Add 2 cups shredded monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend, Wait to stir for about 15 minutes until it melts into the broth so you don't have a stringy mess to deal with on your spoon.

    Serve with cornbread
    Enjoy!

    Great Northern Beans. I just grew up calling them Navy Beans...so when I typed that it just slipped out.

    Will have to look and seem what they r at the store. So many tend to go by other names I have noticed.
