Recipe: Hearty Butter Bean Soup
Description: This is another one of my hearty soup recipes. Being from Northern Ohio winters were long and cold  and soups were a staple. Add a pan of cornbread and enjoy.
Ingredients: [{"text": "3 can(s) 16-oz. each, large butter beans"}, {"text": "2 large onions, chopped"}, {"text": "2 stalk(s) celery,chopped"}, {"text": "2 cup(s) cooked ham, chopped"}, {"text": "1 can(s) 16-oz. diced tomatoes"}, {"text": "1 can(s) ro-tel tomatos , hot or mild"}]
Instructions: Pour beans along with liquid into large pan. Add onions, celery, ham and the juice from the tomatoes.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1-1/2 hours. Add diced tomatoes and Ro-Tel. Simmer 30 minutes longer.
Note: This is another soup best made the day before and reheated to get the full flavor.
