Cosy Ham-And-Bean Soup

Submitted by Annacia

"This is out of Chatelaine mag. It has low fat, protein and very healthy veggies and taste good too. This asks for black beans but I have used pinto (didn't have the black on hand)with fine results so I would say to use the beans you like the best. For ZWT this is in the Spanish devision because of the olive oil, garlic and tomato. This was a combo that my dad loved and used often, he was a grand Son of Spain who was born in Andalusia shortly before my grand parents moved to the U.S."

Hi Folks, I made this tonight with dried Lima beans & it was the Best Ham & Bean Soup , ever...Delish. Who knew, to add some spicy spices would make a dull bland soup pop ??? I made no adjustments , just right . I have saved to my recipe box & will make again ...Thank You !

This is an outstanding soup! Such great flavor in a relatively short amount of time. I made just as directed (ok maybe used a bit more Tabasco 'cause we love the stuff!) and would not change a thing. Hearty and flavorful - loved it - thanks for sharing the recipe!

This was so good. I used country ham and the flavor is incredable. So easy to put together. Will make again. Made for Photo Tag.
