I took a 1 lb. bag of 16 different beans,(I usually have a mix of beans that I make myself on hand, but haven't made any in a while.) looked for stones, and washed them. I let them soak for about 6 hours, and then I put them in my slow cooker, with 1 qt. water, added some chopped lean country cured ham and cooked them until they were tender.
To this I added 1 pt. of tomatoes, 1 1/2 cups of chopped onion, 1 diced chili pepper, juice from 1 lemon, 1 chopped garlic clove,salt and pepper. cook for 30 mins more. I like to pre measure all of my ingredients before hand, it makes the recipe easier to make, plus it keeps me from scrambling all over the kitchen trying to find something. And it makes cleanup a breeze, that I especially like. lol
this is the best soup with a sandwich.... I think what makes it so good is the kick you get from the red chile pepper.Hope you enjoyed my bean soup, and if I could I would have invited you over for a taste.
I have a lot of irons in the fire right now, getting ready for the holidays, if I told you what I had been up to you might laugh, so I will save that for later. lol (hint... it has to do with Christmas) Plus I have been doing a few outside project too. I should have named this the "never done farm blog" but someone else has cornered that name. lol
Hugs,
Sue

Sounds delicious. Wow, 16 beans!! That's a lot. Being latin myself I know all too well about such recipes but rarely make beans because my mom and my mother-in-law make them way better so I just take theirs. ;) The crockpot sounds like a good idea.
Thanks for sharing, and I can't wait to see what you've been up to. =D
I bet that soup was wonderful! I'm making a stew today & it has the house smelling sooooo good!
Cooler weather is perfect for bean soup. Thanks for the reminder, Sue.
