OLD FASHIONED BEAN SOUP

This is a no fail easy to make recipe. The soup is thick and rich with lots of flavour. I've made it with leftover whole ham with bone, which keeps down the fat content. The original recipe came from a magazine over 20 years ago. It's best when made with left over mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

1 lb great dry northern white beans
2 smoked ham hocks (2 1/4 lb)
1 cup finely chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 cup mashed potatoes (leftover or instant)

Wash beans, discarding imperfect ones. Cover beans with 2 1/2 quarts water; refrigerate, covered, overnight.
Next day, turn beans and water (there should be 6 cups) into 6-quart kettle.
Add ham hocks, onion, garlic and bay leaf. Bring to boiling; reduce heat, and simmer, covered tightly, about 2 hours, or until the beans are almost tender.
Add mashed potato, celery, carrot, salt and pepper. Return to boiling; simmer, covered, about 1 hour longer, or until beans are tender.
