15 Bean Soup

Following my coccygectomy (tailbone removal) I needed to find recipes that would cut down on the amount of labor required and that were healthy enough to prevent me from gaining weight since I could not be very active. This 15 bean soup fit the bill, and since the soup was made in a slow cooker, there was very little labor involved, and there was enough for about 6 meals.

• 1 package of 15 bean soup mix (dry)
• 4 celery stalks, diced
• 1 can of diced tomatoes
• 2 smoked ham necks
• 1 teaspoon of fresh cracked black pepper

Simply place these ingredients in a slow cooker, and cook on low about 8 hours. What this soup lacks in color is made up in flavor.
