A soup that's hearty and tasty. Easy to make! Serve with a crusty whole wheat bread. Ingredients:
1 large, meaty ham hock |
4 slices bacon, diced |
3 onions, chopped |
3 carrots, diced |
1 small head cabbage, shredded |
3 tablespoons chili powder |
1 clove garlic, minced |
1 (8 ounce) package 15 bean mixture, soaked overnight |
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes |
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage |

Directions:
1. Place the ham hock in a 5 to 6 quart slow cooker, and fill half way full with water. Set to High. 2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon for a few minutes, then add onions, carrots, and cabbage. Cook, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes. Stir in chili powder and garlic; cook for 2 more minutes. Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker, and add beans, tomatoes, and sage. 3. Cover, and cook 2 hours on High. Reduce heat to Low, and cook for 6 to 7 hours, or until beans are tender.
