Homemade Bean Soup

Cold days are easier to handle with a bowl of hot bean soup with ham. Very good with buns or biscuits fresh out the oven!

Ingredients:
1 lb. bag of great northern beans (or any white bean), soaked overnight
1 onion
Carrots, about 3-5 cut into pieces. If you use raw carrots, add to soup when you add all the ingredients.
1 - 2 Ham Hocks or cut up ham - Smoked turkey works, also
Chicken broth
I added 2 pkgs Goya Ham Concentrate
You can add 1 tsp. liquid smoke for a richer smoked flavor

My mother also used to make bean soup when we were young (and I'm retired now). I love it and make it pretty much the same, but with the potatoes and I believe sometimes Mom put celery in with the carrots too. I also add vinegar, but only once it is in the bowl. I do that with Ham and Green Bean soup too. Glad your story had a happy outcome. You seem like a sweet person!

The soup looks delicious, just what you need on a cold winter day.

My son is a chef, he puts the bone back into the soup and uses a stick blender to purée all of the skin and sinew and puts that back in too. It’s beautiful, silky and delicious.

Love bean soup made this way. I use to use the ham bone from new years and make a big pot. Only difference I add potatoes cut up and I mash some beans to make it thicker.
When I just get the desire for some I like the ham hocks gives lots of smoke flavor over the ham. Mom taught a splash of vinegar in soups n stews, tomatoes sauce too.

Thank you for your vlog. Try to use smoked ham and tell me if it will be more delicious... Try adding a little tarragon if you like that...

Brings wonderful childhood memories ❤️

That looks and sounds bloody glorious, , I make something very similar with Borlotti Beans and the addition of smoked Paprika.
What an interesting upbringing and background, pretty similar to mine in parts, , would love to be able to share a table and a chinwag with you, , would be the ideal dinner date .
