She picked out the beans cause they were pretty!

I did not pre-soak these, the went right into th pan, I covered and brought them to a boil and let simmer until more liquid needed to be added.


Cut up carrots, onion and celery. I bought a bell pepper too but I forgot to cut it up

I picked up a pack of pork sirloin strips for $4, seasoned with salt and pepper and cooked with a piece of apple wood indirect for 30 minutes to add some lean smoke flavor.


After 30 minutes I added the vegetables, meat, garlic, oregano and a bit more pepper.



A huge storm was just about to let loose as the soup finished.

After 3.5 hours, the meat and beans were tender, so I removed the foil to let the soup thicken a bit.


Cathryn and I got in just in time and ate bean soup and watched old Popeye cartoons as the skies open up!

Great looking soup Larry!
