Ham and Bean Soup

Emily shares (probably much to her fiancé's dismay), "This is a wonderfully filling and warming soup. My fiancé gets so excited when I make this that he sings a little song that he made up." To read about Emily, turn to page 48.

1 1-lb. bag 15 bean blend for soup
1 large red onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced (or 3/4 tsp. PENZEYS MINCED GARLIC)
1-2 15-oz. cans chopped tomatoes with green chilies (you can use regular chopped tomatoes)
2 stalks celery, chopped
3 Cups baby carrots
2 Cups chopped ham or a 1 lb. ham hock with hambones
1 tsp. THYME
1/2 tsp. DILL WEED
1 tsp. PENZEYS FRESHLY GROUND PEPPER
2 TB. olive oil
5 Cups chicken stock (or 5 Cups water mixed with 21/2 tsp. CHICKEN or HAM SOUP BASE)
1 Cup water

If using a slow cooker, simply rinse the beans and combine all of the ingredients in the cooker; no need to soak the beans first. Cook on low for 8 hours. For regular soup pot cooking, soak the beans overnight or for at least 4 hours covered in water. Drain well and then combine all of ingredients in a pot and cook over low heat for 2-3 hours. If you use a ham hock and bones, remove the bones, chop the meat and add it back into the pot close to the end of cooking. Serve. Sing.

Prep. time: 10 minutes plus possible bean soaking time
Cooking time: 8 hours slow cooking or 2-3 hours stove-top cooking
Serves: 18-21
