Kitty's original 10 bean soup
1 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | pack | (16 oz) 15 or 10 Bean Soup mix; with Cajun Seasoning included |
| 2 | Ham hocks or 1/2 pound ham steak | |
| 1 | can | (12 oz) beer |
| 2 | cups | Chopped onions |
| 2 | cups | Chopped celery |
| 2 | Cloves garlic; chopped, (up to 4) | |
| 1 | can | Stewed Mexican tomatoes |
| 1 | can | Diced tomatoes and chilies |
| 1 | pounds | Hot Polish Sausage |
| ½ | pounds | Raw; boneless chicken breast |
Directions
Sort and rinse beans. Combine beans, 7 cups water, beer, ham hocks, seasoning packet in large 6-8 quart pan. Bring to boil and reduce to a rapid simmer. Add chopped onions, celery, garlic and tomatoes to pan.
Simmer, covered, for at least 2 hours. Remove ham meat, chop fine, and add rest of meat, cut into small chunks. Simmer for 1½ hours more until beans are soft.
*My notes: I did not use but about 4 cups of water, as we like it thicker.
And I had to cook it a long time, to get the big beans tender.
Luscious soup.
