Once a year I buy a ham bone from Honeybaked Hams and make bean soup. I ask for the meatiest one. (This year, it was not much meat!)
I buy one of their bean soup packets. New packaging, not see through like before and only 2 choices, Split Pea or Navy Bean. (In prior years I’d buy a bean mixture.)
So bought one Navy Bean ($8) and I had a package of dried navy beans at home that I soaked overnight. I sautéed chopped onions, then a generous amount of garlic, leeks, carrots, celery, fresh thyme, bay leaves, crushed red pepper.
Smells and tastes divine, sharing with my neighbor, I’ll freeze some.
No photo cause not very photogenic.
