Dice a small onion, 2 medium potatoes, place into your favorite medium sized kettle. Add just enough water to cover and simmer until the potatoes are done.

Northern Bean Soup

Add a 32 oz. carton of chicken broth, beef if you prefer, 1 1/2 cups diced, pre-cooked, ready to eat, ham. I sometimes use the pre-diced packaged ham to save time & 1 to 2 cans of Bush Northern beans, drained.

Let simmer until all ingredients are heated and enjoy.

2 Cans of Bush’s Garbanzo Beans (not drained)
1 qt of Chicken Broth
1 Andouille sausage, cut in half and sliced (can also use Kielbasa or Chorizo sausage)
3 Red potatoes, quartered & thinly slice
1/2 large onion, diced
1/4 cup of Sofito (3 Cubes)
1 envelope of Sazon with saffron
1 tbsp of Olive Oil
salt to taste
Heat 1 Tbs of olive oil in large pot over medium-high heat, add 4 cubes of sofrito (1/4 cup), cook until it breaks down, abt. 5 mins.

Add sausage & onions, cook until onions are soft and translucent, add potatoes and garbanzo beans (undrained), chicken stock & an envelope of Sazon con Azafran, stir.

Turn up the heat and bring to a boil, turn heat down and simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Serve hot with bread and butter.
