I cooked garbanzo beans for the first time! I didn't know it made such a difference from the canned ones. I recommend you to cook them by yourself if you have enough time. I wanted to use them in soup because it's good too. Enjoy.

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

I got a pork roast from the store for real cheap and after eating on it for 3 days, I figures I would make soup out of the rest. My 13 year old daughter and I came up with the recipe and she made it all by herself with just a little help putting the veggies and meat into the boiling pot.

Using chicken stock or broth to boil the chicken increases the broth flavor. Its a super delicious soup granddaughter approved. Normally she will not eat her food mixed but one taste and she never stopped eating it till the bowl was completely empty.

Just a basic soup I make from time to time. Lots of healthful veg, beans for protein, fiber, and minerals, and a little meat for flavor.An easy, inexpensive, balanced meal in a bowl. All the better with some crusty bread for dipping!

My husband was born and raised in central Florida and this is one of their staples. Love this stuff

I've been eating this soup for all my life. When Later on in life, I encountered the typical 'pork soup,' and I was really surprised!I was able to finally put together a recipe I was satisfied with, remembering the way my mother used to make it.It's a very simply flavored light soup, so adjust the amount of salt and soy sauce to your taste.The sizes specified for the solid ingredients are approximate, so vary these to your taste as well.If you don't skim off the scum, the soup will become cloudy. (Using a store-bought scum removal sheet makes this so much easier!) For 3-4 servings. Recipe by Kakigori

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.

Very flavorful, delicious white bean soup. You can omit the pork to make it vegetarian friendly!

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🤗

Simple and delicious. Perfect for cloudy, rainy days.

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.
