BONNIE'S OLD-FASHIONED THICK WHITE BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Cook the beans with water, covered, in a large soup pot until tender. Use any method you wish. I just rinse the beans, place them in a large heavy pot with the ham bone, bring to a boil and simmer on the lowest setting until tender. (Low heat keeps the beans from falling apart) It takes about 4 hours. Do not add any salt until the beans are tender. Salt can make the beans tough.
• 2. About two hours before the soup is ready, saute the vegetables in the olive oil until tender, adding the garlic the last two minutes. Add the tomatoes, and the sauteed vegetables to the soup. Add the thyme, black pepper, and chicken granules and the chopped ham.
• 3. Peel the 2 large russet potatoes, diced small, and place in a small sauce pan. Ladle enough liquid from the beans to just cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil and simmer on low until they are done enough to mash. Mash the potatoes by hand until almost smooth, and then dump the mixture in the soup to thicken it. Stir, continue to simmer the soup, covered on very low heat. Adjust seasoning to your taste and serve. Enjoy!

BONNIE'S HAMBONE BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Cook's Note: Technically all the ingredients are already cooked, really what you're doing is cooking the beans until tender and allowing the ham bone and bacon time to infuse the water for a rich and meaty taste.
• 2. PREPARE THE BEANS Wash and clean the beans, soak overnight according to package directions. The next day, drain the water, rinse the beans, and put them in a large pot with 6 cups of really hot water or enough to cover the beans. Simmer gently, covered with lid at a tilt, until very tender. It takes about 4 hours for beans to get done here. The package says 2 hours. So it depends on your altitude. Do not add salt to the water. Watch the beans carefully so they don't stick when they start to thicken, adding just enough water to cook them.
• 3. COOK THE BACON: Fry the bacon and remove to a paper towel to drain. Saute the celery and onions in the bacon grease until tender.
• 4. PREPARING THE SOUP: While the beans are cooking. Take the soup broth and pour it into a colander over a large soup pot. Remove the vegetables, chop them and set aside. Remove the ham from the bones and chop it, and add it to the pot of soup to simmer over low heat. Discard the bones. Add the marjoram and 1 tablespoon of chicken granules. Add the sauteed celery and onions and a tablespoon of bacon grease. Simmer a few minutes, then add the peas and cook until tender. Turn the pot to low heat to just simmer.
• 5. When the beans are tender and starting to thicken, it is time to add them to the soup. The beans are very hot, so carefully pour or ladle them into the soup pot. Heat until just hot. Garnish each serving bowl with a tablespoon of diced bacon when serving. Great with cornbread! Enjoy!
