This is an awesome "Homestyle" version of white bean and ham soup. the only things i changed was to make my own stock from a Ham bone, which added alot of flavor. while I was making the stock I threw in some carrotts, celery, Garlic and Onion and let it cook for about 8 hours. Then I strained everything out and followed the recipe exactly. I used canned beans just like the recipe as well which were pretty good but I have a feeling that using dried beans would have made it better.

This was the best cheesecake I have ever made! Everyone who tried it loved it. just a warning though.... this is very chocolatey cheesecake(a plus for me) and this recipe makes a 4 lb cheesecake which is huge so make sure you have some help eating it!

I made this recipe hoping that it would taste like the Cuban restaurants in Florida. Sadly it did not, the cumin was a bit strong when i used the recommended amount. I am not saying that this was a bad tasting recipe but I would probably use less cumin next time as well as pepper.
