Bean Soup in a Frybread Bowl

DSC_7863 (1600x1060)I thought I would have a little fun with this recipe.  There are butter beans, pintos, and white kidney beans simmered with browned pancetta and ham cubes, sauteed spinach, onions, and diced tomato bits in the soup.  I made it pretty thick, no water added aside from what came out of the several cans.  The frybread bowl liner did soak up a lot of the liquid.

The frybread is about as basic as it gets – today I mixed a little milk and some water into flour, salt, and baking powder and stirred it until the dough came together.  Let the dough rest for a half hour then pat or roll it into a circle for frying.
