Portugese Been Soup

Portugese Bean soup in Hawaii is called Portagee Bean Soup

Ingrediments:
1 pkg - Ham Hocks
1 can - Kidney Beans
1 round onion
2 8oz cans - tomato sauce
Hot peppers, salt & 1 1/2tsp garlic to taste
1 tsp - cumin
1 diced potato
1 whole portuguese sausage
2 handfuls macaroni
1/4 head cabbage chopped to size you like
6 carrots sliced

Directions:
Pressure cook ham hocks in 5 cups water for about 15min. Once cooled enough to handle, shred the meat from the bone. Put the meat back in the pot. (you can also buy the pre-cooked cubed ham which might taste as good with much less work)
Cut sausage to bite size, fry up separately, then add into the mix.
Microwave the carrots & potato's in the microwave, then add to the mix.
Cook up the macaroni, then add to the mix.
After everything is added together, then add the cabbage and let sit for about 15minutes before serving. Lots of noodles so rice with this dish is an option.
