15 BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Wash the beans; put in large pot and cover with water. Bring to boil; stir and remove from heat. Cover and let sit 1 hour. After that hour, drain beans and set aside.
• Add oil to pot. Sauté your ham hocks, onion, and celery until tender.
• Next add garlic and sauté 2 minutes more.
• Add your beans and cover with water (about 2 inches over top of beans).
• Add tomatoes with the juice, parsley, rosemary, black pepper, bouillon cubes, and about 1 teaspoon of salt to start with.
• Mix well. Bring to boil; stir, reduce heat cover and simmer for 2 to 21/2 hours or until all the sizes of the beans are tender.
• Keep watching it and stirring it every once in a while. You may need to add more water; you want it to keep a consistency a little thicker than a soup.
• Taste it after it cooks--you may need more salt or pepper.
• During the last 15 minutes of cooking, add the flavor package that comes with the beans.
• Serve by itself or over rice.

THIRTY MINUTE MEAL

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium high heat, combine ground beef and onion. Saute for 10 minutes, until beef is browned and onion is tender.
• Add the cabbage, soup, water and salt and pepper to taste. Mix together well and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, until cabbage is at desired tenderness.

ZESTY BEAN SOUP
