As with much of the nation we are experiencing a blast of cold winter weather.
It's predicted for much of the coming week, so hearty soups are the go-to meal of the day.
I've made a fifteen bean soup today, chocked full of country ham, celery, onions, tomatoes, carrots, garlic, and chili spice.
Served with a slice of buttermilk cornbread, it's the ideal comfort food, on a blustery cold day.Come join us for a bowl.
We'll leave the light on for you !
If you feel like making your own pot, here's the original recipe.
1 lb. smoked sausage, ground sausage (browned in pan), ham hocks or diced ham. Our favorite is to use a leftover hambone with some meat on it.
1 pkg of Hurst 15 Beans
1 lg. onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp chili powder (optional)
1 can diced tomatoes (15 oz.)
Juice from 1 lemon
Bay LeafI also add:
Two stalks of celeryThree cubed potatoes
Two sliced carrotsOptional: Hot sauce or crushed red pepper to taste

The soup sounds hearty and delicious, and your presentation is elegant and beautiful.
Leave the light on - - I'll be right there!
I'll even bring my own bowl..although yours is so
lovely. Thank you for the recipe...I don't recall
a more wintry Winter in TN, so your comfort brew
will hit the spot. Keep warm and mellow, Jo.
I'm not much of a soup person, but my sister makes a ham and bean soup very similar to this recipe. She loves it.
I'm not much of a soup person either, Jo, but I do love red beans and I've never had a 15 bean soup. Looks good!
It is a delicious looking meal. The soup sounds good on a cold day. I haven't eaten cornbread for years. I really like your dishes. I will keep driving east until I see your light.
Yumm Yumm! That sounds wonderful! We had a pot of chili and cornbread for lunch here in Indiana. Cindy L
That soup looks good :)
All the best Jan
