INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 cups Dried beans ( mixed)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion ; Diced
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon Oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic
- 8 cups Water
- 2 Carrots ; Diced
- 1 bunch Parsley ; Chopped
- Flour ; (For thickening)
- 1 cup Bell pepper (mixed)
- 1 Ham bone
- 2 cups Cooked ham ; Chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
Rinse the beans and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large heavy bottomed soup pot and saute the onion for a few minutes. Add in the herbs and spices, ham bone and 8 cups water. Bring up to a boil. Turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for an hour.
Bring the soup back up to a simmer and cook until the beans are tender. Add in the carrots and peppers.
If you like a thicker soup, sprinkle in some quick dissolving flour, like Wondra, until you get it as thick as you want it. It will continue to thicken as it cools, so don't overdo the flour.
At this point I like to let the soup cool and then refrigerate until ready to eat. This gives the soup time to develop some extra flavor.
Reheat the soup add the parsley right before serving.
NOTES
Notes: I like to add the colorful vegetables like the chopped carrot and peppers at the very end of cooking so they remain colorful and firm. Personally I feel that they get 'cooked' enough just by sitting in the soup as it cools down, and then again when the soup reheats before serving. This way you get color, texture and flavor from veggies that normally cook down to mush in most soups.
