Recipe instructions
- Preparation Check the beans for stones.
- Pour boiling water over beans and let stand 1 hour or soak overnight and drain.
- Finely chop the bacon ends and pieces, or fat saved from a smoked ham, and cook it on a medium fire in a big pot to render the fat.
- Be sure the crumbs of fat are nicely browned, like crisp bacon.
- Add the cut up veggies (you can change the amounts to suit yourself, and add others too, ad lib) and saute in the fat.
- Add a few cloves of mashed garlic if you like it.
- Drain the beans and rinse them.
- Add the water or stock, beans and ham hock and herbs and spices.
- Bring to the boil, simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, maybe even more depending on beans, until they are very tender.
- Cut the fat and skin from the ham hock and dice it and return to the soup.
- I often cook a couple of extra ones and have beans and hocks as a meal.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- You can skim the fat, but in the cold winter, it tastes good.
- The colder it is, the better you will like fatty soups.
- If you cook it long enough, the beans and everything will break down and puree, combining with the fat to make a\creamy\ consistency, that is much admired by\beanies.
- \I like to finish the soup with sliced kielbasa.
