Introduction

This is a recipe taken from theFix It and Forget It Lightly cookbook. The only modification I have made was, instead of using a hamhock or lean ham, I substitute a ham bone and use the leftover ham in it. This change isn't reflected in the calorie count, since ham-bone isn't an ingredient option. This is a recipe taken from theFix It and Forget It Lightly cookbook.

Ingredients

    1 lb. black beans, previously soaked for 24 hours to soften
    2 onions chopped
    2 green bell peppers chopped
    4 cloves garlic minced
    1 lean ham hock or 3/4 c. diced lean ham
    (or, in my case, one ham bone with some ham left on it)
    1 T olive oil
    1 T ground cumin
    2 t dried oregano
    1 t dried thyme
    1 t salt
    1/2 t black pepper
    5 C water
    2 T vinegar

Directions

1. put all ingredients except the vinegar into slow cooker.

2. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high 4-5 hours.

3. If using ham hock orham bone, remove meat from the bone after 3 or 4 hours, returning the meat to the soup.

4. Mix in vinegar and stir well.

**For a thicker soup, mash half of the bean mixture and then return it to the soup. For a soupier consistency, leave it as is.
