\n<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>I added chopped up Black Forest Ham (the sliced kind from Costco) because I didn’t have ham hock, I didn’t want to go to the store again, and I needed to use of the deli meat asap. It worked out nicely. I also had about a cup of chicken stock leftover I wanted to use up so I added that into the soup and a little less water. I let the beans simmer on the stove for a few hours Sunday while I ran errands and did some writing. By the time I got home, the water had burned off and it was ready to add all the yummy ingredients.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>I didn’t have tomato sauce so I used the canned diced tomatoes and they worked really well. In fact, I probably could have used more than just the one can.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>I added the chili powder to taste. I think maybe 2 teaspoons? I didn’t want it to be too spicy, or to suddenly taste like chili, so I went easy on it. I let it sit for about 15 minutes before I added the second teaspoon. I added the minced garlic, salt and pepper.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>I was really happy that the soup thickened up like it did. The first time I ever made bean soup it was really watery and not quite the way I wanted it to taste. This time was so much better! It was hearty and thick.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>It made so much! I probably could have used half the bag and saved the rest for another time but this way it’s all made for the week. There should be enough for 8 separate meals (lunches or dinners) and I might freeze some of it for another week.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>Besides the yummy flavor, I love how it’s pretty low in calories and so high in fiber and protein. Even if I wasn’t on a diet it would be a great soup for any healthy lifestyle! I love Bob’s Red Mill! I can’t wait to try the Israeli Couscous I bought! Now I’m wondering what other goodies I could have put into the soup. Maybe chopped carrots next times! I wonder what other seasonings I could use too?<\/p>\n
