Ingredients
Hurst’s HamBeens® Original 15 Bean Soup®1 lb. of turkey ham1 cup onion, chopped1 14.5 oz. can stewed or diced tomatoes1 tsp. chili powderJuice of 1 lemon1-2 cloves garlic, minced
Directions
Traditional Cooking Method:
Soaking: Place beans in a large pot, cover with 2 quarts of water. Allow beans to soak overnight, or at least 8 hours. (I always soak them overnight.)

After soaking, drain water and rinse beans until water runs clear. Inspect beans carefully for any stones or debri. Add 2 quarts of water and 4 ounces of the turkey ham cut into 1/4-inch cubes. Bring beans and turkey ham to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 2 ½ hours. After simmering, add onion, tomatoes, chili powder, lemon, garlic and 12 ounces of turkey ham cut into 3/4-inch cubes. Simmer for another 30 minutes. The Hurst's HamBeens come with a small packet of ham flavoring whch can be added at this time then cook 1 to 2 minutes more before cooking is completed. Salt and pepper to taste. Makes approximately 16, 3/4 cup servings.

Yield: approximately 3 quarts. Serves 14-16.

Quickcook Method:
Place rinsed beans in a pot with 3 quarts of water. Bring to a rapid boil. Reduce heat, add 4oz of turkey ham cut into 1/4-inch cubes, cover and continue boiling 60-70 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. After 60 minutes, add the rest of the ingredients, including the remaining 12 ounces of turkey ham cut into 3/4-inch cubes. Simmer for 30-45 minutes. Add contents of flavor packet 1 to 2 minutes before cooking is completed. Salt and pepper to taste.

Note: Dry beans are a raw agricultural product. Although the food processor carefully cleans these beans, stones and debris may be present. Sort and rinse beans prior to cooking. Depending on water hardness, cooking time may need to be increased.
