Bean Bacon Soup With Cornbread Waffles Recipes

BEAN & BACON SOUP WITH CORNBREAD WAFFLES

Steps:

• 1. Cook ham bone in water overnight in a slow cooker.
• 2. In the morning remove bone with tongs, let cool.
• 3. Rinse beans and put in the slow cooker. ( I don't pre-soak mine, they cook all day so they turn out just fine)
• 4. Add ham stock. Stir with a whisk to make sure it breaks up. Add remaining seasonings. Cook on High for 6-8 hours.
• 5. About 1/2 hour before you want to serve it, fry bacon. Let drain on paper towel.
• 6. Saute onions in bacon drippings until done.
• 7. Add onions to soup.
• 8. Chop bacon in a food processor.
• 9. Add to soup.
• 10. In a mixing bowl pour cream of potato soup in. Take about 1 cup of broth from your soup. Mix with potato soup.
• 11. Pour into your soup.
• 12. Serve about a 1/2 hour from the time you put soup and bacon in.
• 13. In the meantime, make your batter for cornbread. Mix in a large bowl cornmeal, oil, milk, and then egg.
• 14. Mix well. It should look like pancake batter. If it's too thick add a bit more milk until it looks like a batter. If it's too thin add a bit more cornmeal.
• 15. Heat your waffle iron and cook just as you would waffles.
• 16. This is a nice way to get individual servings. Dish up soup. I top mine with French fried onions.
