16 bean soup
I remember when we first starting making this, there wasn't a bean combination in the supermarket of dried beans. Now that there is, you could easily make this with the mix. You can add more ham, omit the lemon juice, make this your own any way you want. I like more ham and add more onions personally. This is a good hearty soup and especially with some crusty bread or corn bread!
