Ham and Bean Soup Quickie
(Not Kosher by Theresa Judkins)


  • 1 can drained black eyed peas
  • 1 can drained kidney beans
  • 1 can drained great northern or navy or white beans
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 can beef broth or 2 cups of water and beef bullion
  • 2 cups cubed slices leftover baked ham from your favorite holiday
  • 2 cups of your favorite fun pasta
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced celery (3 stalks)
  • 1 pkg lipton onion soup equivalent or 1 1/2 cups chopped onion
  • 3/4 tsp crushed thyme
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups sliced carrots
  • 1 tsp garlic pdr or 2-3 cloves fresh garlic crushed
- combine ingredients in a pot
- bring to a boil and reduce heat
- let simmer until carrots are soft enough
This turned out a little spicey so I changed the amount of pepper listed here to 1 tsp instead of 2. However, you should salf and pepper to taste especially if you have young ones who won't eat it spicy.
