" NOT YOUR AVERAGE" HAM & BEAN SOUP!
At one time I was making "Cowboy Caviar" at least once a week, but have since tapered off to maybe once every six months. Having an excess of canned beans (all kinds) in the cupboard I decided to make some bean soup. I got the ham bone in the pot and started emptying the cupboard. This is the result, tho measurements aren't exact, they're close. My dh, ds and our Mexican neighbor think I should "patent" this! It is probably too spicy hot for little ones.

Steps:
- Place ham bone, onion, celery, carrots and water in a large stock pot.
- Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer, skimming foam occasionally.
- When meat is starting to separate from the bone, remove bone and allow to cool.
- Add bouillon, I used Ham Flavored Better Than Bouillon, garlic salt and pepper.
- Add beans, whatever kind you like, tomatoes and continue to simmer.
- Remove ham from bone and return ham to soup mixture along with cubed ham.
- At this point I recommend you taste test the soup for seasonings, but be careful, it doesn't bite your tongue, it grabs your throat!
- I served this with corn bread and fresh fried potatoes with bacon & onion. It gets better after a day or two in the refrigerator.
