I am apparently picking up the soup torch from wifey's dad. I have a few in my arsenal already, such as chicken / turkey soup, & vegetable soup. Today, I am attempting the bean soup her dad makes.

Had a call in this morning to get the ingredient list, and instructions.

I'll take some pictures along the way, maybe. I'll post up the whole list of ingredients if it comes out ok. For now, I boiled down a leftover ham with bone in that we smoked for last week's Christmas dinner. That in itself made the house smell good. I also have the beans soaking for use tomorrow. The ham broth is outside now to cool off, and I'm supposed to scrape the excess fat off the top. I removed the bones, and chopped the meat and put it back in the broth.

There are other complications to this recipe such as browned flour for a thickening agent. Making that could be a separate thread, but lucky for me when her dad showed me how it's done, I got a pint container of it to take home.
