I made some bean soup today. Great Northern Beans, onions, bay leaf, garlic, crushed chilis, pulled pork.
It's the Cooking Light recipe for white bean soup, but I didn't use the ham. I didn't have ham, but I had a bag of frozen pulled pork. Chopped some of that and put it in, instead. And no, I didn't have jalepenos, either. Threw some crushed chilis in, instead.
I had some cooked brown rice, and some dried mushrooms, so they went in, too. I'll probably puree some of the soup for a thick base later.
