For a while I've found that as soon as I respond to comments on the blog, the comments arrive in my email! Three times! Something backward at blogger.
ReplyDeleteUsing a bag of 15 Beans Soup, I made some Ham & Beans last week. The recipe on the bag called for tomatoes like the recipe above, but I just couldn't add them. I love Ham and Beans and I wasn't sure I'd love this. Would like to know how it compares if you could tell. Looking forward to more soup recipes, Mary Anne! And, I'm all for you commenting on the blog. Both for the ease it surely will be for you, but I love reading your responses to questions people may ask. :)
ReplyDeleteI must admit to not being a lover of beans (particularly green & yellow beans), but I love this soup. The tomatoes add to it - at least IMHO. This recipe is one I created when I was doing the cooking and it evolved into this and now it's one of the very few recipes the current Resident Chef hasn't tinkered with. That says a lot!!
DeleteIt sounds like I may need to try it, then!
DeletePerfect timing! There's leftover ham and celery to use up. Today is soup day here. Thank you for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I hope you like it.
DeleteThe soup looks interesting. I'm now playing catch-up with my blog reading. Life takes over. Thanks for the links.
ReplyDeleteWeird when things happen with emails/replies etc I have just got this post and looked back at others to find I hadn't got the last two posts you did in my in box. Hmmm........ You and the resident chef look great - sorry that jigsaw didn't work.
ReplyDeleteI miss blogging because of the comment issues I never got resolved. Maybe I should try this new way as you are going to do. Love the recipe and links. Thank You and December Bliss...
ReplyDeleteIt seems like a lot of people are having issues Sherry and more and more are turning to responding to comments directly on the blog.
DeleteBean soup! Now you're talking. Just plain Jane here though with either bacon grease or piece of country ham and some salt and pepper. I should try your recipe though. The pink ornament is a different turn. I've never figured out how to get email addresses from folks if they don't have one posted on google?
