HAM AND BEAN CHOWDER
My mother found this recipe in the 1999 edition of The Best of Country Cooking. I could not get enough of this soup! It goes great with corn bread. From the book: "We also call this 2-day Bean Chowder, since it can be started in the afternoon, chilled overnight, and finished off the next day--if you can wait to taste it!"
