	Bean Soup 07

		16 Bean Soup 1 lb 16 bean mixture 2 quarts water 1 large onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 to 3/4 tsp. salt 16 oz can tomatoes, undrained and chopped 10 oz can tomatoes and green chiles, undrained 1 lb ham hocks or smoked meat Cooking Instructions (stovetop) Sort and wash beans and place in pot. Cover with water 2 inches above the beans and soak overnight. Drain beans; add 2 quarts water and the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cover and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 1 1/2 hours or until beans are tender. Add ham hocks and salt and tomatoes. Simmer 30 minutes. Crockpot Instructions: 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.
