Fall is coming, time for some soups!
1 lb dried beans (navy, pea or great northern) rinsed and picked over
water
1 meaty ham bone
3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
1 cup diced celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
In a large pot soak beans overnight in 2 quarts of water. Next morning add 2 more quarts water. Add ham bone, bring to boil and skim. Cover then simmer 2 hours or until beans begin to fall apart. Add potatoes, onion, celery and garlic. Simmer 1 hour longer. Remove ham bone and cut up meat. Discard bone; return meat to soup. If desired, mash beans and potatoes against side of pot to thicken soup. Season. Makes 4 quarts and can be frozen.
