This is for those of you still stuck in the snow and cold......








I made the best bean soup tonight. I kind of just happened by accident. I started out wanting to use up some of the leftover ham. I was going to make a pot of beans with ham.
I started with 2 cups of navy beans.

Then I decided I would saute some onions and celery with the pieces of chopped ham.
I added that to the beans and let it cook.
After a while I decided I wanted some carrots in it and I thought well I ought to just go ahead and make a soup out of it so I added some potatoes too.

When that was almost done I decided to add a can of diced tomatoes because I like tomatoes in or with everything. After the tomatoes were in I thought, oh, it needs at least a handful (about 1 cup) of elbow macaroni.

I stopped there. I served it with thick slices of French bread and butter and it was delicious!!

Woo hoo!!!!! I needed to see that. Thank you! :)

The soup sounds delicious, minus the ham part. I love tomatos in everything, too.

You had me at navy beans and ham.

LOL

Thanks for the photos. It snowed here last night and this morning oddly enough. Seems we always have one final hurrah at the end of February.
