Ham & Bean Soup

2 cans Great Northern or Navy beans
2 rounds ham, cubed
milk
1/4 to 1/2 cup butter
flour
salt
pepper
parsley


Melt butter in stew pot. Add ham, coat with flour to brown. Don't let the ham burn. Add beans, milk to cover, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer slowly for 20-25 minutes until thick. Garnish with parsley.


Comments: Serious comfort food for me. Always tastes better the second day. Quantities are not exact, I realize, but I have no idea what the measurements are. I do use a lot of flour, I will say that. Good with home-made bread. Came from a family member, although I'm not sure who anymore...Aunt Viv, maybe? At any rate, tasty stuff. Good for your heart! *wink*
