Now. that's what I want for lunch today. Do you deliver?
my mom used to make this baked in the oven, never knew the recipe but remember a ham bone in it. but my favorite would be the cornbread for sure.
For a winter dish, there's only one word to describe this: Perfection!
Good looking bowl of soup - nice and thick the way I enjoy it. I like the ingredients you used, but might have to toss in a little of my favorite greens.
I love Navy bean soup! Yours sounds great! I split open a slice of cornbread and ladle soup over it with a blop of ketchup on top. Just wish I had a bowl of yours right now!
Agree with Rosaria LOL
Would you contemplate a free delivery service LOL. If so I would be your no 1 client LOL. Have a great weekend ~ Eddie
How did you know I was fix in' white beans tomorrow? You're the best, cher! We had a great time in NO. However, there was a slight problem with four guys, two in front, two in back trick, who tried to jump my hub. He does 300 gut crunchers a day so that didn't work but the numbers were superior, my kicking didn't make a dent so I SCREAMED "I'M AN LSU GRAD, HELP" Purple and gold came flying to the rescue. Once back at the Monteleone, I got a cop, gave descriptions - the guys were making their way to Canal, harassing another couple en route - and let them NOPD it from there.
Corn bread and beans!! Can't beat it!
this so reminds me of something I might have cooking away in my kitchen just about weekly during the cooler winter months - love the flavor here and would love a plate of Grandma's biscuits to go with it... hope you had a fab new year, heck, I know you did... hope you have a good game tomorrow nite (and Monday too!!!) I'll be rooting for one of them.... tee hee
This would be the perfect soup for my brother who is wild about ham & white beans. I'm not big on ham, but I absolutely love adding thyme to white beans.
I'll take mine with the spicy cajun cornbread please.
I make that every time I have a ham for a dinner. I did this 3 days after new year dinner. I absolutely love the stuff. I don't use tomatoes though. I do everything else pretty much like you. One of my favorite soups, for sure.
rosaria- Thanks, so glad you like it and hope you try it! I would deliver, but it's so easy to make and you'd be eating it in 4 hours instead of 4 days! lol
Linda- I've never tried making soup in the oven, but it sounds good! Thanks, hope you try it!
Joanne- Thanks for the sweet compliment, cher! It is perfect for a cold day, but it's 75 degrees here today and I am grilling shrimp!
Dude- Thanks, it's fab and I hope you make it! Throwing a few greens in the pot is a great idea. Enjoy!
Pam- Thanks, I do the same thing, except I put a blop of mustard on top. lol Great minds think alike! :)
Eddie- I would gladly deliver a big pot of the stuff, but I think it might smell bad by the time I got there. lol Merci, cher, hope you have a great weekend, too!
Perfect for a cold winter's day!
mmmmmmmmmmm
cornbread!

Oh my- that looks amazing! Following you back from the SSS hop!
Yummy!
Thanks. Now I know what to do with that leftover hambone from the Alabama Wins party tomorrow night.
Seriously, LSU rocks. Gonna be a great game. Great fun.
bookmarked this yummy post. Spicy cornbread, yes! I hope you will stop by Katherines Corner and say hello. Hugs P.S> Don't forget to enter the Pink poodle Giveaway too.
This looks so delicious and comforting! Wish I had a big bowl right now!
Your recipes and photos are positively mouthwatering! I love Cajun food, so I can't wait to try some of these.
On a cold rainy Washington day, this is our favorite and so happy to see your recipe is the same as my gramma passed down to me! Nothing like comfort food!
Looks awesome, slow-cooker soups are the best!! Miriam@Meatless Meals For Meat Eaters
A perfect recipe – I just bought a ham and will use the bone and the leftover for that soup. I am behind reading my bloggy friends because I was on a trip for over a month then was sick with a nasty cold for a couple of weeks (just ate some Campbell soup at Christmas that my husband warmed up – he is no cook…) I hope you had a nice Noël and I wish you du bon temps en 2012!
Marguerite,
Having been told "you just HAVE to visit this blog" by my very good friend, KittieHoward, I decided to actually do more than visit today ~ I am actually 1)commenting; 2)going home and trying this recipe! It (ALL) sounds so yummy, and as I have a ham bone in the freezer (from KittieH, no less!), I will report back next week :) Thanks,JH
MMMMM beans and cornbread! (without pork for me, though) ;-D
I love the shot you got of this gorgeous soup! Full of flavor and ideal comfort food for these colder days! When I make soups I generally make 2 pots one vegetarian and one not, they love it when I use a ham bone when I do :)
Hope you had a wonderful holiday my friend, hugs
all the best for a happy 2012 !!
