Northern Bean Goodness–a wonderful soup from Todd!
When the cold temepratures hit I tend to overreact. I find my flannel shirts in storage, take a gander at my stacked firewood and head for the kitchen. This favorite came from my friend Barb Zocco. She grew up in Utah and says this soup was THE taste of fall for her family.It’s so simple, so easy to make and yet so incredibly satisfying.
Soak a bag of great northern beans overnight–they seem to hold up better in the soup. The beans and a ham hock are the traditional recipe, but everyone likes to tinker a little. In the bottom of the soup pan, I brown a diced onion, and throw a little thyme in. Add the beans and the smoked ham hock. Add enough to cover, and simmer. You’ll be adding water 4-5 times during the cooking. When the beans are tender (1-2 hours) you’re ready to go. You can smash some of the beans against the side of the pan for a thicker consistency. It’s that simple, and a perfect soup for a change in the season!
