Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary ... We can't wait to see your creation! The post Ham and Pinto Bean Soup appeared first on The Healthy Epicurean.

We want to ensure the beans are nice and tender. This bean soup is already very flavorful thanks to the ham hocks, tomatoes, V8, and seasoning. The only thing you might want to add at the end is salt.

Blend to a smooth soup and check seasoning. Mix the flour ... Spread onion mixture on to the crispbreads, top with Parma ham, some parsley and a drizzle of oil. Serve on the side of the soup.
