SOUTHERN BUTTER BEAN SOUP WITH SMOKED SAUSAGE
This is a great comforting soup on a chilly day. It may take a while, but it is well worth the time it takes. It's an easy, flavorful soup to make. I like to serve this with cornbread muffins and butter. I hope you give it a try some time - I think you will enjoy it.

Steps:
- 1. In a large stock pot add 8 cups of water and the ham hocks. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to medium low and simmer ham hocks for 2 hours.
- 2. To the pot add dry beans, onion, bell pepper, sugar, salt, pepper, jalapeno, garlic, and thyme. Simmer for another hour. Note - the jalapeno will add flavor without the soup being spicy.
- 3. Remove ham hocks and discard jalapeno. Add chicken broth and diced smoked sausage. Simmer for 20 minutes.
- 4. Remove ham from the ham hocks and return back to the soup pot.
- 5. Taste for seasoning and serve with your favorite bread. Corn bread is a favorite of ours.
