15 Bean Soup

Ingredients:

1 pkg. 15 bean soup

3/4 - 1 lb. deli ham cut in 1-2 slabs, cut into cubes (I like Prima Della Honey Ham)

1/2 large onion, chopped

1 - 15 oz. can diced or stewed tomatoes

1 tsp chili powder

juice from 1 lemon

1-2 cloves minced garlic

Directions:

Soak beans overnight.

Drain, and place beans in a crockpot. Generously cover beans with new water.

Stir in all other ingredients.

Cook on high 4-6 hours, or low for 6-8 hours.

Note:

You can omit the ham and make this really cheap. It comes with a mystery ham flavoring packet, but I never use it. I've found this at Walmart, Krogers & Albertson's. (This recipe is on the back of the package)

So good on a cold day!
