fancy pinto soup





fancy pinto soup

1/2 of a lb. bag of dry black beans

1 lb. bag dry pinto beans, rinsed

1 small onion, diced
1 ham hock (use your leftovers from the easter ham)
8 c. water
1/4 t. garlic salt
1/2 t. pepper

bring a pot of water to a boil, add black beans and simmer for 20 minutes.
drain and rinse well.
warning: (if you skip this part, trying to save time,
like i always do....the whole pot of soup will turn black in the end.
you have to boil the black off the beans first....now, proceed.)
place black beans, pinto beans, onion, and ham hock in crock-pot.
add 8 cups water.
add garlic salt & pepper.
cook on high 8 hours until beans are tender.

serve that with a slice of wheat toast and your easter feast will linger on for days...
