SWISS, HAM, POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Cook diced potatoes in saucepan with just enough water to cover.
• When tender, drain the liquid from the potatoes and save.
• Set both aside while making roux.
• In large saucepan, melt margarine.
• Saute the chopped green onions until tender.
• Remove onion from pan and set aside.
• Add flour to melted margarine and stir until incorporated.
• Cook over medium heat until the roux begins to just turn a golden color.
• Using a whisk, stir in 2 cups of milk and 1 cup of the saved potato liquid.
• Whisk until smooth and no lumps are seen.
• Bring just to a boil or until the soup thickens.
• Add the diced ham, cooked onion and the Swiss cheese. Also, add back in the cooked potatoes.
• Stir until cheese is melted.

• salt and 1/2 teaspoons.
• pepper.

HAM AND BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a Dutch oven (you can also use a thick-bottomed soup pot, but may need to stir more often to prevent burning) over medium heat for about 3 minutes or so, until it's nice and hot. Add the oil and the onions. Cook until the onions begin to turn translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Stir in the chopped celery and carrots, and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes. Add the beans, followed by the water. Increase the heat to high.
• Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, white pepper, black pepper, paprika, and chicken bouillon paste. (If you don't have chicken bouillon paste, simply use chicken stock in place of the water.) Bring to a boil.
• Stir in the ham. I like to cut it into big shards/shreds for extra texture. (Sarah likes hers cubed and orderly though. I won't judge either way!) If you're using a ham hock instead of ham, you can add it in now.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low so the soup is at a somewhat energetic simmer--it should always be at a low bubble. Cook for 4-5 hours, stirring periodically. If the soup isn't cooking down, you may want to increase the heat to medium. Every stove is different, so don't just set it and forget it. Periodically check liquid levels.
• In the last hour of cooking, add the fresh parsley, and cook for another hour. It's done when the beans and carrots are tender, and the soup is thickened. If you used a ham hock, fish out any bones, and chop up any large pieces of meat and skin (keeping the skin is optional) that don't break down during the cooking process before serving.
• This soup is quite forgiving. If it ends up too salty for your tastes, just add water, and lightly mash some of the beans to release their starchiness and re-thicken the soup. If you are reheating the soup and there is not enough liquid, just add 1-2 cups of water to bring it back to your desired consistency.
