We have a pot of bean soup cooking in the crockpot. We do an easy version using a big jar of cooked Randall's great northern beans and add a can of Luck's pintos with onions. Add some crushed red peppers and and diced jalapenos. We had spiral cut country ham for Christmas din and I finished cutting the remaining ham off the bone and put the bone with some other ham scraps in the soup. This is going to be a killer batch. Serve it up with hot corn bread. Yum. I may give my wife a break and take some Beano before dinner. She doesn't enjoy "Dutch oven" as much as when we were young. π
