We’ve had a lot of down time lately, so I cooked another batch of Bean and Bacon soup. The post where I cooked it last time with the recipe is here.
I soaked three pounds of pinto beans:
I knew how much space they would take up this time, so I didn’t have escapees.
This time I chopped the vegetables instead of mincing them:
You can see the Ulu I use in the back – makes it MUCH easier to cut vegetables. I used beef bouillon this time instead of chicken. They were hard to crush, so my husband used a meat mallet.
I forgot to take a photo of the bacon. I just used kitchen scissors and cut it into the boiling pot.
Cooking away:

And, of course, we had to sample it:
Tundra was Very Unhappy that we didn’t share and made his best begging faces. He did get to lick out the pot later once it had cooled.
Turned out delicious, and we have that much more food stored that’s easy to heat up and eat.
