Bakedbeanstylebeansoup Recipes

Steps:

• Wash and pick over the beans, and put them in a pot with enough water to come up above them by 3 or 4 inches.
• Bring to a boil, turn off the heat, and soak overnight.
• In the morning, drain the beans and add the ham stock and the split peas, bay leaves and pepper.
• Bring to a boil then simmer gently until the beans are tender.
• Use a little stock to thin the molasses and tomato paste, and stir it into the soup.
• Add the carrots and ginger, and continue to simmer the soup until the carrots are tender.
• Add the ham, and add salt to taste (which will likely only be needed if your ham is unsalted.) Add water if the soup gets too thick; stir frequently to prevent scorching.
• Bean soup is best the day after it has been cooked.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan, leaving the drippings, and drain it on paper towels. Crumble and set aside.
• Add the onion to the pan with the bacon drippings and saute until softened, a couple minutes. Stir in the beans, molasses, brown sugar, mustard and crumbled bacon, and mix well.
• Pour the beans into a 3-quart casserole and bake, uncovered, for about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large soup pot.
• Fry onion, carrot, celery, garlic and meat for about 5 minutes, until tender.
• Add the rest of the ingredients except extra water, and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Add additional water to desired consistency. I liked mine more like a stew. You may like yours more soupy. It does thicken up!
• Goes great with grilled cheese sandwiches or cornbread muffins.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and onion. Cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Set aside.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble into small pieces.
• Transfer beef-onion mixture and bacon to the slow cooker. Add all the beans, sugar, mustard, and soy sauce. Cook on Medium until flavors meld, about 4 hours.

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, cook bacon over medium-high heat 2 minutes. Add beef; cook 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain.
• Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Cover; cook over medium heat 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly heated.
