Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (16 ounce) package 15-bean soup mix
6 cups chicken stock
1 ham bone with some meat
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped carrots
½ stalk celery, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped garlic

2 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring

1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

"White Bean 'n' Ham Soup, for example is a winner on all three levels," she explains. "It's economical quick and yummy!" Bissy notes that while canned beans make this hearty main dish a fast fix, you can say money by soaking and cooking dry beans instead.

Provided by Elise Bauer

Categories     Dinner     Soup     Comfort Food     Ham     Soup     White Bean

Time 3h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound (2 1/2 cups) dry white beans, like cannellini or Great Northern
2 quarts of water
2-3 pounds smoked ham shanks or ham hocks
2 teaspoons Herbes de Provence, or Italian seasoning
1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup diced onions (about 1 small onion)
1 cup chopped celery (about 2-3 ribs)
2/3 cup chopped carrots (about 1 medium carrot)
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
Tabasco sauce
Salt and pepper
Fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Soak the dry beans: Fill a pot large enough to hold the beans with water and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, add the beans and soak for about 2 hours. Drain the water.
  • Simmer the ham: While the beans are soaking in step 1, put the ham shanks or ham hocks in a separate large pot and cover them with 2 quarts of water. Add the herbes de Provence or Italian seasoning. Warm on high heat until the water comes to a simmer, then lower the heat, partially cover and maintain the simmer for about an hour.
  • Sauté the onions: Heat olive oil in a small sauté pan on medium high heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until translucent, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook a minute more.
  • Add vegetables and beans to the ham broth: Once the ham hocks or shanks have been simmering for an hour, add the drained soaked beans from step 1, the cooked onions and garlic, and the chopped celery and carrots.
  • Simmer the soup: Cook for another 40 minutes or so, uncovered, until the vegetables are soft and the ham meat easily pulls away from the bone. Remove the ham bones from the soup and pull off any meat and return it to the soup. Discard the bones.
  • Season to taste: Add several drops of Tabasco to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a pinch of chopped fresh parsley.

  • Use a ham bone with meat on it. This will give the soup more flavor. If you don't have a ham bone with meat on it, you can add 1/2 pound of diced ham to the soup.
  • Add vegetables to the soup. This will make the soup more nutritious and filling. Some good vegetables to add include carrots, celery, onion, and potatoes.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
