Stormy Day Bean And Ham Soup Recipe 365

Steps:

• Rinse beans. Heat beans and water to boiling. Boil gently 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand 1 hour. Add remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat, cover and simmer about 1 hour and 15 minutes or until beans are soft. Remove bay leaf and ham bone.

Steps:

• Coarsely chop ham; reserve bone. In 6-quart Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook chopped ham in oil 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.
• Add white onion, green onions, carrots, celery, soup base and pepper. Cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion is tender.
• Stir in reserved ham bone, the navy beans, cannellini beans, black-eyed peas and potatoes. Add enough water to cover. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover; cook 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove and discard ham bone. Stir in spinach just before serving.

Steps:

• Place the soaked beans into a large pot and fill with enough water to cover by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then simmer over low for 30 minutes. Drain. Add the ham bone, ham, onion, celery, carrots, tomatoes, vegetable juice, and vegetable broth. Season with Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, chili powder, bay leaves, pepper, parsley and lemon juice. Pour in enough of the chicken broth to cover the ingredients.
• Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 8 hours. Add more chicken broth as needed throughout the day. Remove the ham bone and season with salt if needed. Continue to simmer for a couple more hours. Remove bay leaves before serving.
