Nothing seasonal

Our CSA farm has been stocking us up with greens. But it's cold, so I decide instead to make a bean soup. It's the recipe from the back of the package, but I make it Italian-y by adding prosciutto and Parmesan.

Bean Soup
1 bag 15 bean soup (Hurst's HamBeens brand. Dumb name but good soup.)
1 ham hock
1/4 c frozen chopped onion
1 can diced tomatoes
1 tsp chili powder
minced garlic
prosciutto
Parmesan, shredded

Soak beans overnight. Drain. Add 2 quarts of water and ham hock. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered 2.5 hours.
Add onion, tomatoes, chili powder and garlic. Simmer 30 minutes.
Add ham seasoning packet 1 to 2 minutes before finishing. Add prosciutto and top with Parmesan.

Makes 14-16 servings and freezes well.
