Great Northern beans with noodles and smoked ham

#porotosconriendas This is a traditional soup very popular in Chile. This soup is made with beans and spaghettis or beans with long pork skin threads that resembles the horse reins. Is very popular to serve it with longanizas (sausages), chorizos or chicharrones (fried pork skin). In this case I made it with hickory smoked ham left over from New Year’s celebration. https://youtu.be/FikFS6DAPBc
