It is cold, windy, and raining outside and the forecast is for this to last all day.
Before I went to bed last night, I put a package of Bob's Red Mill 13 Bean Soup Mix in a big bowl of water to allow the beans to soak.
In a little while, I will put these beans and a big ham hock in a large pot and let it simmer for hours. Later I will add a couple of cans of tomatoes, some seasonings, maybe elbow pasta. . . I'm not a "strict, stick to the recipe cook!" The house smells so good when my bean soup is simmering on the stove.
Then, while I am watching football on TV - don't miss the Alabama-Florida game tonight at 8:00 pm, folks, it's going to be a good one! - I will have a bowl of soup. There will be plenty to freeze for later.

Souping weather is over for us...it's salads every night for awhile!
ReplyDeleteI presume it's Alabama you are barracking for ??Hope they win !!
My goodness, that sounds wonderful! :))
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really good! I like their mixes, be it for bread or soup or cereal.
ReplyDeleteIt was warm enough to go out and get a long bike ride in just shirt sleeves but the nights are cooling down. Soup would be wonderful.
A recipe is just a general guide for cooking...it is to give you hints of what might go good together!
