In the winter time we eat this dish about once a week for lunch or dinner. It’s my hubby’s favorite I keep several containers on hand in the freezer. It is also one of my Dad’s favorite meals. It’s the first thing I fix when I know he is coming to visit. A few drops of vinegar in a bowl gives it a wonderful flavor.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 package 16 Bean Soup (found packaged in 1 lb bag in grocery isle near other dry beans)
• 3 bay leaves
• 2 tablespoon Mrs Dash
• 1 teaspoon chili seasoning
• 2 cans chicken stock
• Additional water needed to cover 2 inches
• 3 stalks celery chopped
• 3 carrots diced
• 1 large onion chopped
• 3 cloves garlic diced
• 1 smoked turkey leg*
• 2 cans diced tomatoes

PREPARATION:

Soak the beans overnigh in water. Drain and rinse well (rinsing helps with gas).

Combine first six ingredients (liquid should cover beans 2 inches) in large pot. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 hours, or until beans are tender. Add remaining ingredients and turn to low temperature to low; cook for additional 3 to 4 hours.Remove turkey bones. Meat should fall off easily.

Serve as complete meal or over rice. We like it with cornbread (and add a few drops of vinegar to each bowl).

This soup is a great freezer food!

* We don’t eat pork. I have served this dish many times and everyone things the meat is ham. Pork doesn’t really have much taste. The taste comes from the smoked flavor. I use smoked turkey in many dishes.

   I thought you had to soak and rinse dry beans before cooking them. Your recipe doesn’t say that-sounds easy, where did you find the smoked turkey legs? I don’t think I’ve ever seen them in the grocery store before. Love your new site! Thanks for all your inspiration!! I thank God for bringing you/your life into mine!

   Stacy,

   I added the soak directions (sorry, I wrote this post twice,, lost the first one and forgot the soaking).

   I get turkey legs at Sams or Krogers. If you don’t see them at the store ask the butcher. Last time I went to Kroger I asked and the butcher brought ourt two from the back.

   Robin, Thanks SO much! I was praying they would be in store by me! I have access to both a Sams and a Krogers! I purchased my beans just yesterday and can’t wait to try this soup! My husband doesn’t like ’soups’ but does like ‘chili’-and your bean ’soup’ recipe sounds thick like chili w/addes tomatoes, etc. Sounds yummy! Thanks again for sharing and letting God use you……
   Blessings!

   Looks wonderful! Is one able to purchase smoked turkey, or do you need to post another blog about how to smoke turkey?
