Basic Bean Soup

This is basic bean soup. It is easy to assemble and tastes great also. Try
adding other vegetables to taste if desired.



Makes 10 servings.



1 pound dry beans ½ pound chopped ham

8 cups water ¼ cup ketchup

12 baby carrots salt and pepper to taste

1 cup chopped onion



DIRECTIONS



1. In a large bowl, combine the beans with water to cover and let soak
overnight. This is not the water you cook them with unless you wish to.

2. In a large pot over medium high heat, combine the soaked beans with
water, carrots, onion and ham. Add more water to cover all, if necessary.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 4 to 6 hours.
Add ketchup just to get desired color. Season with salt and pepper to
taste.
