Soup Bean Meal with Browning’s Country Ham Hock and Howard’s Creek!

Start with your favorite soup beans, once you have cooked them the way you like them, dollop Howard’s Creek Authentic Beer Cheese on top, stir it in, and enjoy!

In this photo, we used the dried pinto, Browning’s Country Ham Hock, and Howard’s Creek Authentic Beer Cheese.

1. Clean, rinse, and using a dutch oven, bring water 2 inches above the beans. Bring to a boil, turn off the burner, and top it with the lid. Let them stand for 1 hour.
2. Rinse the beans after 1  hour until the water is clear.
3. Fill water about 2 inches above the beans, add Browning’s Country Ham Hock and simmer in a crock pot or stove top until all are tender. About 4 to 6 hours.( Instant pot users, cook per instructions.)
4. Fill up your soup bowl.
5. Spoon out Howard’s Creek Authentic Beer Cheese and dollop on the soup, stir it in, and enjoy!

Tip: While waiting on the last 30 minutes, add beer cheese about 2 Tablespoons to your cornbread mix and enjoy beer cheese cornbread, too!
