Your are wet. Every cold country has bean soup and they are all different!
Maybe chili-bean soup for this one or even veg chili. But what's wrong with
pasta e fagioli, which has no ham in it? Loads of bean soups are
vegetarian, many countries don't make smoked hams. Ranger offered a recipe
that sounds like it would make a tasty winter supper, so why does nb say
it's the worst bean recipe he's ever seen?
