My mother makes a ridiculously good bean soup. It's fucking heaven. I'll try to watch her do it some time to get a semblance of a recipe.

Necro, yes I know. I think this one's within the rules, though.

Ham and White Bean Soup
Ingredients:
1 bag dried navy beans (1 lb)
Half pound carrots (about 4 large) sliced
4 celery stalks, sliced
1 yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1 tsp. dried rosemary
½ tsp. dried thyme
½ tsp. smoked paprika
Fresh cracked pepper (10-15 cranks)
2 Tbsp. olive oil
7 cups liquid (half water, half chicken or vegetable broth)
2 cups cooked ham, chopped
1 tsp. salt (adjust as you taste)
Directions:
    Rinse beans and set aside.
    Chop veggies and add to a 6 quart slow cooker.
    Add spices (except salt), oil and liquid to veggies and cover and cook on low for about 8 hours or until beans are soft but not mushy.
    Halfway through cooking, add the chopped ham. When soup is done add the salt and serve.

I make this over and over. Though it's a slow cooker recipe, it should work on the stovetop over low heat or in a dutch oven as well.
Most any dried beans substitute well in place of Navy beans, but if they're not a white bean, the will color the broth.

I'm not sure if we have Stubbs here. We have some good sauces, though.

Both of you, try to find D.L. Jardines 5-Star BBQ sauce.

You'll thank me.
