Ingredients

Directions
1) Follow directions on Hurst's Ham Bean Mix putting in 12 cups water and cooking for 1 hour. I added 1/2 cup dried lentils.
2) While beans cooking saute onions in butter, garlic, New York Marinade + Worcestershire till nicely brown and somewhat carmalized.
3) To above onions add the 2 cans of tomatoes, the spice mix from the Beans and simmer for ie 10 min
4) Take cut up ham (bite sized pieces) I like slightly bigger pieces so they don't get lost in the soup. Saute them in the triple sec and tequilla just until lightly brown - few minutes - put aside.

After the beans have cooked 1 hour add the pan with onions tomatoe mixture to the bean pot as well as the black beans - the pureed ones and 1 more can whole black beans and simmer for 1/2 hr - 3 hrs. I like my soup simmered for longer to meld the flavors but 30 min will do it. I add the ham about 30 minutes before eating to not over cook the ham but give time to meld the flavors
