i would go with some kind of bean![]()
Split pea and ham would be my choice. Has to be the green ones the yellow ones suck ya green split pea and ham soup. Make it in the crock pot let her cook till the next day then eat yuummmmmmy.
either pinto or lima beans some call them butter beans
I do like to use the crock for it so I don't have to watch it so closely. In a regular pot on the stove, I have to stir quite a lot or it may scorch. DH got me a new crock and it is much hotter even on the low setting because it is some special sort of one that you can lock and carry with you and holds the heat. I used that one last week for it and it scorched it. Also, I heard they were upping the heat level or something for low on new ones so as to get food above the "danger zone" quicker, so if you have an old one vs. new one, use the older one for thick stuff like split pea. My old one never poisoned me, so I just thought someone could use that tidbit on crock pot temps![]()
Oh, and I bet you can never guess where he bought the new one?![]()
my new crock is a lot hotter than my smaller old one it will do a full boil on high the low is a steady simmer so I often use the high for first several hours then low over night or for the day and then it has a keep warm setting which i think is close to the low on my old one I had one it was ok for awhile but then it got brutal hot and scorched a pulled pork i made I was some ...... about it it immediately went in the garbage![]()
I really like that idea! I have never made lima bean soup before, I will have to ask DH if he would like that. Thank you so much! I just love trying new things
Do you just use the limas or do you add other stuff?
