My white bean recepie:

Bag or beans rinsed(I don't have time for pre soak)
Can or two or Rotel , Chopped onion, sauteed, Quite a bit of garlic(3-4 cloves or 2 tablespoons of the minced) Pound of meat browned and tossed in or(Even better) two six inch ham shanks or 4 ham hocks added to the mix. Toss in the crock pot and cover with enough water to go an inch over if possible. Add about 2-4 cubes of bullion or my favorite (Better Then Bullion Paste 2 tbls) let it cook. I use low and about six hours till the meat will fall off the bone and the beans are tender .

I add enough chilli powder to turn it reddish.

You may need to add a cup of water or so half way through cooking for the absorption of the beans.

Never dreamed of Rotel in a bean soup

Mom's Tater Soup:

* Melt 3/4 stick of butter in a pot
* Add 1 whole yellow onion (medium sized) diced / 3 sticks of celery diced --- sautee' until onions are translucent
* Add 4 good sized idaho baking taters (peeled) chopped into whatever size you want to chew on
* Add chopped taters to the pot with the onions / celery --- sautee' all of that for a for more minutes
* Top with one 16 oz. bottle of heavy cream
* After adding the heavy cream then add enough whole milk to completely cover everything
* Simmer at a low pace --- don't do a hard boil --- mom always said you might curdle the cream & milk
* Once at a slow / low boil I like to add 2-3 chicken bouillon cubes
* Add salt / pepper to taste --- I hammer it pretty hard with the pepper
* Let all of that cook together until the soup thickens and the taters are soft --- maybe 30 minutes?

I like to top it with chopped green onion / shredded cheese / diced bacon / oyster crackers / sour cream / hot sauce

Any recipe that starts out with
* Melt 3/4 stick of butter in a pot
has to be a good one.

I kept this bookmarked and used the white chili recipe above a few times and it’s very good. I discovered a new one and it’s the best I’ve ever had hands down. I think it’s the combination of the packet of dry ranch dressing mix coupled with the cream cheese that pushes it over the top. Being a white chili purist I skipped the Rotel because of the tomatoes and subbed in a can of diced green chiles instead along with a whole diced jalapeño. I also used a couple pounds of chicken breast I cooked up on my flattop in lieu of the rotisserie, but I could eat this without any meat. I can’t recommend this enough. Sorry no pictures.
