Hello my gentle chiefs ~ it’s been awhile since I posted a new recipe. Here is a MUST TRY soup recipe from Better Homes and Gardens “New Cook Book.”
Rinse 2 cups of dry navy beans and soak them overnight in six cups of water. Do not drain the bean.
The next day, bring the beans to a boil and reduce the heat and simmer for two hours.
Cover and let them stand for one hour.
Again bring the beans to a boil. Add 1 pound of inched cubed ham, 2 medium cubed potatoes, 2 medium chopped carrots, 2 stalks of celery sliced and 1 medium onion sliced. Also add ¾ teaspoon of dried thyme, ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of pepper and several dashed of bottled hot pepper sauce and several dashed of bottled Worcestershire sauce. Cover and simmer until vegetables are tender.
I served bratwurst sliders along with the soup for a very yummy satisfying meal my family enjoyed. This soup is also excellent the next day reheated.
