Never thought to do that with this soup. I love the black soy beans!
Actually, I was just trying to inject a little food into the group.
Hopefully, not to start a food fight. Who wants to get hit by a glop
of bean soup?

Peace,

Carol, is this anything like Campbell's Bean with Bacon Soup?

It's as close as I could get it. I love the Campbell's stuff!

<giggles> Too damned true...

I've managed to make a really decent bacon and pork hock bean soup using
pre-soaked black soy beans. Me and dad both really like them!

Sounds good, then. I like the Campbell's stuff, too. Haven't bought
any for a long time because I always forget to eat it. :-/

Let me know how you like it, Barb. If you think it needs improvement,
give me a holler. The liquid smoke is necessary for the Campbell's
flavor. :o)

Cheers! :-)

I went back and re-read that recipe.
IMHO the addition of liquid smoke is not necessary when you are using
bacon, but then I generally pre-cook up an entire lb. and add that to
it. <G> That would be for 2 cups of pre-soaked beans and 4 cups of stock.

IMHO pre-soaking black soybeans makes them come out much, much more
tender.

The liquid smoke isn't necessary unless you're trying to replicate
Campbell's bean with bacon soup. That's what I was shooting for.

Okey-dokey. I'll try to find some next time we go shopping so I can
give it a try. Thanks!

Oog, good luck finding dry black soy at the store... :-(

I looked and looked, even at the oriental market. I was able to find
canned by Eden foods at Central Market in Austin, but I had to buy the
dried ones on line in a 25 lb. bag.

I promptly re-sold 10 lbs. of them to a fellow low carbing co-worker. <G>

I bagged the rest of them up in ziplocks and refrigerated them. With
shipping etc., I paid around $45.00 for 25 lbs.

Worth it tho' IMHO!
