THE BEST BEAN AND HAM SOUP



The Best Bean and Ham Soup image

I make this hearty soup using the ham bone from our Easter spiral ham. I serve it with corn muffins and fresh fruit. It makes a huge pot of soup, so invite some friends or just freeze several portions for later use. Remember to soak the beans the night before you make the soup.

16 BEAN SOUP

Categories     Soup/Stew     Vegetable

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound 16 Bean Soup Mix
32 ounces vegetable broth
2 large onions, diced
1 bunch celery, diced
2 large bell peppers, diced
32 ounces diced tomatoes
16 ounces can green chiles, diced
2 tablespoons Dr. Fuhrman's Vegizest or other no salt seasoning
1 tablespoon dried basil *see note
1 tablespoon hot sauce ** see note
1 bunch Swiss chard leaves, diced (vein removed)

Steps:

  • Clean, rinse, soak beans overnight. Drain and put in covered crock pot on medium with vegetable broth. Then chop onions and celery, add to crock pot. About an hour later, chop and add bell peppers. A couple hours after adding bell peppers, add tomatoes and seasonings. Leave to simmer another hour or until done. Add chopped swiss chard leaves and simmer another 15 minutes. I double this recipe and freeze it in 3-4 cup servings. It keeps well in the fridge at least a week. If you don't like your vegs soft, you can add them to the pot later so they will be crispier. * Rub dried basil between fingers to release all the flavor before adding. ** We use El Yucateco hot sauce. Beware hot sauces can become hotter as you rewarm dishes it's used in, so you may want to add it at the table or eliminate it completely.

16 BEAN SOUP (CROCKPOT)



16 Bean Soup (Crockpot) image

This is a great recipe to start in the morning and have ready when you come home. I love the packages with 16 kinds of beans...they make the best bean soup. They don't come with a prepackaged mix or anything like it sounds--the 16 bean soup mix is just a package of 16 kinds of beans. I didn't have turkey Italian sausage so I used regular spicy Italian sausage, and I added a couple potatoes just because I love them. Recipe is posted as written. Serving size is estimated.
