Mom’s Recipe – Frank and Beans Soup

*One of Mary Myrick’s best recipes*

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup chopped celery
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 1 lg. can pork and beans (21-28 ozs.)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (15-16 ozs.)
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 beef bouillon cubes (or 2 tsps. bouillon powder)
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • 1 tsp. Worcestershire
  • 1 tsp. Parsley flakes
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 4-6 franks, cut into slices (about ½” thick)
  • dash of Cayenne (or hot sauce) or to taste

Put all ingredients (except the franks) in a large saucepan and simmer about 30 mins., adding the frank pieces in the last 10 mins. Remove the Bay leaf and discard before serving.

This soup is not only easy, but it is delicious and hearty. I usually use the entire package of franks. Add a salad and bread or crackers and you have a meal.

Welcome to my online home since 2004. I blog a bit about my life as it happens, my work as I am permitted, and occasional throwback entries. When I'm not writing new posts, I actively curate this blog, improving the wording or adding new media to old posts, and finally finishing old drafts I've left sitting for years. It is not my intention to be a source of news or content. I don’t have anything to sell, and I’m not trying to get likes/shares/follows. This site is an autobiographical effort - imperfections and all. My life, remembered in my words, my way.
