Here's my bean with bacon soup. I frequently add ham hocks or shanks to mine, although they're not listed in the ingredients. Actually, I do that more often than not. When I cook bacon for the soup, I tend to nibble away at it until I find myself with meatless soup!

Ophelia ...... Pickled eggsHi Ophelia, I hope you remember me. I was looking for a recipe like an old one that people use to keep sitting around , without refrigeration. I told you I would let you know...
Sort and wash beans, and soak overnight in a large soup pot in 6 cups lukewarm water. Remove to a colander, drain thoroughly and rinse.
Cut bacon slices at 1-2-inch intervals. Fry bacon pieces in the soup pot until crisp. Remove from pan and set aside. Saute onion in bacon drippings until translucent.
In the soup pot, combine all ingredients except liquid smoke. Heat to boiling, then lower heat and simmer for 1 1-2 to 2 hours, or until beans are tender. Add liquid smoke to taste.
