Tonights Dinner
Last week I bought a bag 'Frontier Soups' 11 bean soup mix and it's simmering away on the stove as I write. The bag came with a recipe which I've followed and even though not completely done, it's shaping up to be quite good. Their recipe called for a ham hock, 29 ounce can of Italian plum tomatoes, cut up; diced onions, celery, bell pepper, garlic, and 12 cups of water. All I had was the large can of petite diced tomatoes so in it went after simmering for three hours. At that time I fished out the two sliced ham hocks, and added the other requirements along with two 8-ounce packages of diced ham and one 8-ounce package of cubed ham. I thought I had grabbed two packages of cubed ham but no matter; the ham hock went back in too, after picking off the fat and discarding the bones. The recipe on the package called for smoked Kielbasa and chicken breast pieces but I decided to stick with all ham. Package proclaims it to be gluten free for those interested. www.frontiersoups.com |

I've portioned out a good size bowl and will let it cool for a few minutes. Several years ago a friend gave me a bag of 7-bean soup mix and that recipe called for chili powder and I had serious doubts. But it was outstanding and I've not been able to locate another inclusive bag like that so when I saw this one at the grocery I snapped it up. |

I've used lots of those mixed bean packages, and always had good results, though, like Joan, I usually deviated from the package recipe. The only trouble I ever had was occasionally the garbanzo beans were still a little hard after all the others were done. But only once in a while ... probably just a bad batch. They cost a little more, but are worth it unless you eat tons of beans like Julie, or don't mind storing a dozen partly used bean packages. |

I don't think I have 11 different kinds of dried beans. Maybe 7. I was thinking of making bean with bacon soup. |

Some beans look pretty but their taste is no better than the cheap ones. Once in a while I'll get something fancy at Whole Foods. |
