Easy Bean Soup
"This is a really easy soup to make. It is best if you have leftover ham from the holidays! You will likely have many of the ingredients on hand too! Tastes delicious with moist cornbread on a cold winter night!"

This was a great soup to use up our leftover sunday ham. I LOVE that it uses canned beans because I am way too lazy to use dried beans. I also threw in a bay leaf while it was simmering. Very good, very simple. Will make again. Made and Reviewed for PAC Fall 2009. Thanks! :) -
This was very good and easy to make. I made a 2/3 recipe as I had a 40 oz. Jar of cooked great northern beans. I used 1 tsp of fresh garlic instead of the powder and also threw in 1 bay leaf. The kids loved it. I served it with recipe #159569. I will make this again. Thanks for sharing!

I love to cook. I used to hate it. That was before I became a stay - home mom. I made foods for me and my husband as newlyweds and I know he choked some of it down with a smile. He still jokes to this day about when I made spaghetti and I didn't heat the sauce up. I just poured it over the hot noodles thinking they would warm the sauce - not so! Cold dinner - ick! Well I've gotten a lot better and my ultimate goal is to be the best cook in my family.
I like to try new things and especially try to find recipes for foods that most people do not like.
