HAM, BEAN, AND POTATO SOUP



Ham, Bean, and Potato Soup image

There's nothing more satisfying than home cookin', and there's nothing more home cookin' than a thick, hearty soup on a fall or winter's day. This is a very basic, traditional soup using a ham bone and the trimmings from a baked ham, pre-sliced or not. If you bake your own hams but have been throwing out the bone, you're missing out on something very special!

Provided by bwigstrom

Categories     Ham

Time 9h20m

Yield 1 1/2 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb dried navy beans
1 large smoked ham hock
1 cup chopped ham
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 carrots, chopped
3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 large onion, chopped
3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
5 cups water, to cover all contents

Steps:

  • Sort, wash and soak beans overnight. Drain, rinse and put in the crock pot, stirring in all of the remaining ingredients. Add enough water to cover all ingredients, typically almost to the top of the pot. I usually increase the garlic because we love it. Be careful with the salt, I add sparingly to compensate for the ham hock and the additional diced ham. Cover crock pot, cook on high for 3 hours, turn to low for 6 hours or more. I remove the ham hock, cut the meat off, cutting away the fat it in the process and place remaining meat back into the pot.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans. This will add flavor and texture to your soup. Some good options include navy beans, great northern beans, and black beans.
  • Don't overcook the beans. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a good quality ham. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup.
  • Add a variety of vegetables. This will make your soup more nutritious and flavorful. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
  • Season your soup to taste. This may include adding salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Serve your soup with a side of bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the broth.

Conclusion:

Ham, bean, and potato soup is a hearty and delicious meal that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover ham. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious soup that the whole family will enjoy.
