this was my Moms favorite...shes gone now but I continue to make it for my family





Red Kidney Bean Soup


1 bag of dry kidney beans


rinse


put in pot and cover 2 inches over beans with water


add meaty ham bone and 1 sliced onion


let cook checking often adding water when it gets below bean level.


When beans are soft and juice is thick take out ham bone and take off the meat from bone and put back into beans.


Add 1/2 stick butter and a can of canned milk(evaporated)


then it's time to eat and oh yeah when the beans are cooking make some Johnnie Cake.
