This soup is sooooooo very tasty, I used everything that was in the recipe and its wonderful!Its such a very healthy recipe too, so much so that I have given it to a friend who runs a 'Slimming World' and she has had rave reviews!<br/>I work in an English tearooms, in the north east of england underneath an ancient Monument called Penshaw Monument and I am busy cooking the soup to take into the tearooms to try it out on our menu, as the sample i took in really wowed the boss and my co-workers, so watch this space!

Absolutely fabulous vegestarian dish that actually tastes like ham hocks were used!!!! I didn't have tabasco sauce so I used a can of Rotel diced tomatos and green chilies. I actually overcooked the bean mixture and some of the beans appeared like refried beans making the mixture thick and soupy. It was fabulous and easy to make. Highly recommended for someone who wants healthy, nutrient rich and fiber friendly food.
