OLD FASHIONED BEAN SOUP

Old Fashioned Bean Soup image

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.
