Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    We've flavored the beans with bacon, a shortcut over using the traditional ham hock. The soup can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen until needed.
  • tip 2
    Junior assistants can learn how to use a vegetable peeler with this recipe and can remove any tough strings from the celery.
