Cuban Bean Soup

by

While in Tampa for work, I enjoyed a nice evening at Columbia Cafe. I especially enjoyed their Cuban Bean Soup. This is my recreation of that soup. This is a modification of Spanish Bean Soup, from tasteofcuba.com.

I often use a frozen package of chopped onions, peppers, and celery rather than the fresh ingredients.

Original recipe: http://www.tasteofcuba.com/spanishbeansoup.html

  • 1 large green pepper, diced
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 6-7 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2 cans of garbanzo beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 5 to 6 medium russet potatoes, cubed (about 1 1/2 inches)
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 2 quarts or so of chicken stock or water
  • 2 bay leaves
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 ham steak, cubed
  • 1 package sausage
