My Christmas dinner was a bone-in ham, so I'll be doing dried beans, either
Cranberry beans or October beans, to take advantage of the bone. I like a
little minced onion on top of the individual servings. Oh, and once in a while,
I like to really carb it up and put some fluffy dumplings in the bean broth.
When they're scooped out, they get buttered - generously. (G) The butter runs
down into the broth...oh yum. Then there's cornbread - don't even get me
started. LOL!!

One of these days I'll make that great bean soup, but I like plain seasoned
beans with a little ham so much, I just don't go to the trouble. Enjoy your
soup!
