1 qt. tomatoes

Thickening (flour & water)

Boil picnic ham for stock. I let sit overnight to take off grease. Boil beans, tomatoes, onion for about 1/2 hour, then add potatoes and boil 20 minutes more. Make thickening, pour in soup. Add cream (I heat cream in microwave until warm before adding to soup). Add vinegar and ham pieces. Let simmer for 1/2 to 1 hour.
