It looks very very good and I like the addition of the green beans. That's a definite winner. Did you add a tomato base? It looks better than I remember although if it had turned out as nice as yours looks I would have. I think mine was watery with floaty bits.Too much water obviously since yours is thick and delicious looking. I will have to give it another try inspired by your photo and hints! |

Yeah, aside from soaking the beans overnight I don't follow the directions on the beans bag. I don't use the ham flavor packet either.
I start with mirepoix + minced garlic and a little olive oil in the soup pot over medium until soft (pre-shredded carrots in the bag are awesome), then added a big can of diced and a big can of crushed tomatoes, box of chicken stock, the soaked/drained/rinsed beans and a ham hock (and salt, pepper, garlic powder, celery salt, whatever else you're into). Simmer for several hours. Remove the hock, cut the meat off the bones, add the meat back to the soup. Throw in some (frozen) green beans or anything else you want and simmer for another hour or so. Add water or more stock if it get's too thick. I add my hot sauce to individual bowls so it's not too spicy for anyone.

me too -isn't that flavor packet the scariest "food product" you've ever brought into your house? I start off with onion and garlic and add bacon later on.

I did this with the last (frozen) portion of the last batch of Harvest Soup I made last night. And some leftover bacon YUM!

I'll have to buy the beans tomorrow. I'll post a pic to see if it looks up to snuff. You'll have to post a pic next time. |

My promised update.
I finally had time today to make the 15 bean soup. The word is it is the best bean soup ever and better than my turkey chili. I have to agree! Thanks for the tips Jinx (but mostly I'm glad you are all alright) ps. I did not find shredded carrots but I love that idea. Next time I'm doing the shreds. |

Not soup, still comfort food for cold days. Chicken and Dumplings.

The soup looks awesome buster.
It is a different dumpling than what I have experience with. I think those are dumplings? How did you make it? I am a soup-aholic so I have to know |
