Variations:

You can also add chopped carrots, celery, onions, peppers (or what ever) and

simmer in bouillion broth until tender then add beans. Or, remove a cup (or

2) of water from the quart measure and replace with low sodium V8.

If you like a " ham flavor " add a drop or two of liquid smoke.

The variations are endless...but this is the basic recipe.

Enjoy
