It's officially cold here now. Stopping on the way home for a hot chocolate or maybe moca latte sounded ok, but at my favorite shop there's a sign for soups I'd always ignored.
Yeah, chicken noodle's dandy fine, what the heck was that butternut squash soup. Found out with parmesan and crackers, really tasty! The tastebuds suddenly remembered where the beef barley place and potato soup can be found. Well, got my New Year's to-do list going. If you've got a special favorite, it's that time ladle up the mmmmmmmmmugfuls. |

Gourmet Bean Soup
2 tablespoon parsley 1 bay leaf 3/4 teaspoon marjoram 3/4 teaspoon Thyme 10 cups chicken or ham stock 1/2 cup butter 1 cup onion; chopped 4 carrots; chopped 3 celery ribs; chopped 2 cloves garlic; minced 1/2 pound ham; cubed 1 can diced tomatoes; 28 oz. 1 tablespoon prepared mustard salt and pepper to taste One handful of each of the following dried beans: Butter beans, green peas, yellow peas, black-eyed peas, great northern beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, red lentils. (For gift jar, layer a handful of each bean in a one quart jar, print out recipe, and attach to the jar) Wash beans and soak overnight. In an 8 quart Dutch Oven, combine beans with parsley, bay leaf, marjoram, and thyme. Add Chicken or Ham stock. Bring to boil and skim off foam. Reduce heat, and simmer 2 1/2 hours or until beans are tender. In a skillet, melt butter and saute' onion, carrots, celery and minced garlic. Add to beans and stock. Finally, add Ham, can of tomatoes, mustard, and salt and pepper. Simmer awhile longer and then enjoy. A very hearty soup that's great in a snowstorm!! |

Yeah, and I've had some pretty good bean soup once, of the ham variety. That's a long lost favorite. :)
Copy and saving. |

UGH! Ya'll just reminded me -- I've got to go get some blackeyed peas. Gotta eat 365 of the darn things on Friday just for good luck in 2010. (Did I mention that I HATE blackeyed peas - only eat 'em on Jan 1st). Oh well with some pork roast, sweet taters and corn bread maybe they'll be tolerable.
And maybe a little BOURBON!! ;) Hugs BD :-* |
