Pinto Bean/Ham Soup image

This soup simmering on your stove will fill the whole house with the most tantalizing aromas. By the time that you ladle it out, your family (or guests) will likely be standing in line! I adapted the recipe from a Hungarian cookbook. When my family's extra-hungry, I serve it with "pocket bread" I've filled with either jam or cheese for a hearty variation.

This soup was delicious and easy to make. I used canned pinto beans, but I think it would be even better with dried beans. I also added a bit of cumin and chili powder to give it a little extra flavor.
