Campfire Bean 'N' Ham Soup

By: Tom Greaves

"'These are the best beans and ham you'll ever taste--bar none!' confirms Tom Greaves from Carrollton, Illinois. 'Friends rave about this hearty soup that I serve hot off the grill.' For easy cleanup, consider covering the outside of your Dutch oven with heavy-duty foil first."
