Capitol Hill Bean Soup

This is a much treasured staple and dish at The American Capitol Building. Championed and tradition in the Senate and House Cafeterias. It's law.

perfect for a cold day to have as a starter or on its own with a bit of bread.

I used to serve a House Cuban or Caribbean style Black Bean Soup Specialty at a Restaurant where I worked. It was good soup, and served with Rice, Hard boiled egg, and Scallions as acoutrements. I thought I might try a hand at it.

Ham & Bean Soup. (I need better lighting hahah)

I used to love this as a child and still love it till this day. It is a great hearty family meal and so delicious🤗

This isn't the most traditional way of making ham and bean soup but still has amazing flavor. I didn't use ham hock, ham shank or bacon which seems to be common. We used a homemade ham stock that we had in the freezer made from the bone of a spiral ham. For the ham chunks I used a combination of leftover ham from a holiday meal and the last bit of the ham I smoked this past summer. If you don't have smoked ham or double smoked in my case you can use a smoked turkey leg and let it simmer in the pot. Or even a drop or two of liquid smoke just to give the extra depth of flavor. Also used the dehydrated onion in place of fresh chopped because it seemed like it would just get lost in there. The only thing I might do differently next time is add spinach or another green to the party.

This is a go to soup (meal) when I have leftover ham from a holiday meal. The smoked ham hock adds a great flavor. For a traditional Cuban meal, omit the meat and dairy, and serve with white rice. To “Mexican-ize” the dish, add some “heat” (jalapeno or hot sauce) within the cooking process and garnish with cilantro, salsa, etc.

Years of experimenting and finally found the one we like!

I know our recipes are sometimes simple because we use the whole vegetable, picked fresh, and then measure and add other ingredients, but the results are delicious. This dinner soup freezes well too.

This is my sacred famillial recipe. My Da's Holler Receipt. With cornbreadx.

A quick and easy soup to throw together for chilly nights. It makes a tasty, hearty meal paired with some crusty bread.

this soup takes awhile to cook but it is so good

I love my instant pot and I wanted to make a bean soup from dried beans that didn't take all day. From start to finish this recipe took about hour and half between chopping and waiting for pressure to build. Still not bad for a soup that usually takes several hours just soften. The beans in this recipe come out soft, and the liquid is thickened as well by them. This recipe also freezes really well too for up to a month.

This soup is a combination of using what was on hand, while I wasn't in my own kitchen, and a serendipity-find at the local market -- fresh Borlotti beans in the shell! You could use dried cranberry beans, or even good quality canned beans (light red kidney or cannellini).

Bean soup with the slightly smoky flavor of ham hocks (smoked pig knuckle). Of course ham could be substituted, I just enjoy the extra richness ham hocks bring. Takes awhile to cook, but it is more, do a little prep, cook for awhile, so you can do other things while this cooks. This has an awesome flavor, and I usually buy a bean mix, well, I like to mix it up a little.So try it, and enjoy.

MOM'S RECIPES. My mom used to make this soup especially during Holy Week, but since my siblings and I loved it so much, we would ask her to make it more often. It's very delicious, with a creamy texture. It's served piping hot. Its aroma takes me back to my childhood family table. Plus, there's a reward the next day.

Straight forward and simple, but full of flavor. So comforting on a cold Winter's day. It's like 11°F here so this was nice to warm us up.

Spanish bean soup and Cuban sandwiches is a way of life in the area where I live and grew up in. Dipping the sandwich into the delicious broth of the soup. The sandwich pictured with my soup is from the local sandwich shop called the Strawberry Hut.

I mixed a couple recipes I saw on here and added my own flare. Hope everyone likes it.

A long time ago when I was in my teens, I visited an American friend and had some 'chili beans', which were so delicious.As I tried to recreate it several times over the years, it evolved into a 'chili beans' version that even my darling American husband gives rave reviews to.We use 2 teaspoons of chili powder in our family, but please adjust this to your desired degree of spiciness.The soup is a bit spicy the day it's made, but it gets milder the next day, so if you don't like food that's very spicy or for small children, I recommend serving the soup the next day. For 5 to 6 generous servings. Recipe by MeguBroaden

A hsm and bean soup recipe I threw together to use leftover ham from Christmas or Easter that I had smoked.

I really didn't want Spanish Bean Soup just something a bit different.

Beef soup with vegies. This is a healthier soup but has great flavor to it!!

I like to add a handful of fresh Spinach to my bowl of soup. Croutons can always add a nice touch, as well. I hope you enjoy this recipe, as much as I do.

I've tried a few variations of split pea soup. This one has more flavor than most and is very filling. My family loves it!

I wanted a recipe for the pounds of dry beans I have in my pantry. This was originally intended to be a side dish of beans, but it ended up being full of liquid and tasted great as a soup. This can easily be made vegetarian or vegan if desired by subbing out the butter and beef base with vegetarian substitutes.

Split Pea Soup from the Colonial Era.

For my family: These are the ingredients I use to just wing it!! Sorry...I am not a huge help with measurements. Note: I usually add more water which is why I am constantly adjusting the seasonings!

This Tuscan White Bean Soup is packed with texture and flavor!  It's a restaurant quality dish you can easily make from the comfort of your own home!
