Capitol Hill Bean Soup


Serves: 13
Total Calories: 123

Ingredients

1 pound dried navy beans
1 pound (about) ham bone
3 cups chopped onions
3 cups chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup mashed potatoes*
2 teaspoons salt
1 pepper to taste

Directions:

Sort and wash beans. Cover with water and soak overnight. (If you have forgotten to put beans on to soak, you can: cover beans with water and heat to a rolling boil; cover and let sit for an hour or so.) Drain and cover with water; add soup bone or chopped ham.

Bring to a boil and add onions, celery, parsley, and garlic. Cook until done. Add the mashed potatoes and seasonings; cook slowly for a while longer.

Note: I usually use turkey ham cut in small cubes.

Editor's Extra: If you don’t have leftover mashed potatoes on hand, microwave a small peeled, cubed potato in 2 tablespoons salted water 5 minutes on HIGH, covered. Mash.
