Beans and Greens Soup with Tasso Ham

Chef Jean-Paul Bourgeois

The combination of Tasso ham and greens is solid alone, but with added white beans and spiced to perfection, it is the perfect one-pot meal. This hearty, flavorful soup feeds 4-6 as an entree, or 6-8 as an appetizer.

Field Judging Black Bears

Ask any experienced hunter and they’ll tell you that black bears are among the most difficult big game animals to field judge. Part of that is because they’re far less common than deer, so hunters just don’t get much experience seeing them. And part is just the nature of the beast.
