In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her White Bean Soup, a recipe that she submitted to Southern Living Magazine in 1990 and got published. It is a hearty, filling bean soup, but quick and extremely easy! Ingredients: 1 can navy beans (approximately 16 oz.) 1 can northern white beans (approximately 16 oz.) 1 cup water 1/2 stick butter or margarine 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 carrot, chopped 1 5 oz. can tender chunk ham, flaked with a fork (I used Hormel.) Place the can of navy beans …
This recipe looks really yummy. An interesting side story – I recently watched this video for the first time, and just yesterday I happened to be in a local Goodwill shop and stopped to look at the pile of cookbooks for sale. I was pleasantly surprised to find a copy of the Southern Living annual your recipe was published in. It is a lovely cookbook and I am sure i will find many other great recipes in it. I just thought it was amazing to find that exact same cookbook just sitting there!
You may use dried beans–just make sure to cook them all the way done before starting the recipe. The canned beans were just to make it quick and easy for those who would not take the time to cook the beans first. Yours will be great! Thanks again for you support of my channel. You’re great!

Love your videos! Watch you from my home Meade Co Ky
I’ve thought of that…Right now it’s just a fun hobby, and these videos are a way of organizing my favorite recipes and sharing them with people who are interested! Thanks for your support!

This looks wonderful Betty! I think you must have a gift for cooking maybe you should consider putting out a recipe book.
A great idea! I wish I had thought to mention that in the video!! Thanks again for your loyal viewing.

Its no surprise that you would have a recipe published:) This looks real good and I bet would be equally good using leftover ham (from Easter) or even grilled ham steak bits! Might try this next week!
