16 Bean Soup<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1 lb. 16 bean mixture<\/p>\n
2 quarts water<\/p>\n
1 large onion, chopped<\/p>\n
1 clove garlic, minced<\/p>\n
1\/2 to 3\/4 tsp. Salt<\/p>\n
1 (16 oz.) can tomatoes, undrained and chopped<\/p>\n
1 (10 oz.) can tomatoes and green chiles, undrained (or use canned tomatoes with a can of diced green chiles)<\/p>\n
1 lb. of ham hocks or smoked meat (just something cheap) for flavor<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I have done this two ways. I have put everything into the crockpot and cooked it on High all day and the beans cooked and were not hard. I have also just put the beans, water, onion and garlic and cooked that for about 4 hours on low then added the salt, ham, tomatoes and cooked that another few hours. Note: In the package of beans there is a nasty “ham flavoring” packet that I just throw out. I use the smoked ham hocks or anything that is cheap and then I throw that meat out because it is usually tasteless by then. I just use it for the flavor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
