13 BEAN CROCK POT SOUP



13 Bean Crock Pot Soup image

A crock pot version of 13 bean soup. Super easy & super yummy! I buy the 13 bean soup mix in the bulk section of my supermarket. It contains the 13 varieties of dry beans as follows: Baby limas, large limas, garbanzo, great northern, black-eyed peas, navy, black, red pinto, red lentils, green lentils, yellow splits, green splits, and kidney beans. Even my toddler had fun eating this soup. It was almost like watching a kid sort their M&M candies into colors! We took the opportunity to teach her the name of each bean as she picked it out to eat. Be sure to plan ahead, as the beans need to soak overnight or for 8 hours before cooking. (Cook time noted includes soaking time.) *Update December 2011: Since hosting the January 2011 Soupfest tag game in the Topic of the Month forum I have been using Sharon123's recipe for homemade Herb & Garlic broth (link in ingredients section) instead of just plain water as the soup base. It's absolutely delicious and so easy to make and store in the freezer. Feel free to use that recipe or any other broth for some or all of the water in the soup (not for soaking the beans).

HAM AND GREAT NORTHERN BEAN SOUP FOR THE CROCK POT



Ham and Great Northern Bean Soup for the Crock Pot image

Title says it all. Put this it together using a little bit from this recipe and a little bit from that recipe but mostly suggestions from my Mom. Tip I learned from someone else on Zaar was to add the salt at the very end of the cooking time, otherwise the beans get tough. You could also add 3/4 cup celery if you like celery in your soup, or saute the carrots and onion before putting them in the Crock Pot if you like the flavor from that, too.

Categories     Ham

Time 8h20m

Yield 8 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb dried great northern beans, separated, soaked, and rinsed
3/4 cup carrot, chopped
1/2 cup onion, chopped
6 cups chicken broth (or substitute 2 cups of pan drippings if you have them, so 2 cups ham drippings and 4 cups chicken b)
2 cups cooked ham, diced or shredded
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme (or more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon basil (or more to taste)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
salt (I use sea salt)

Steps:

  • Place the soaked and rinsed beans in a 5- or 6-quart crock pot. Look them over one more time for any bad beans or foreign matter.
  • Add chopped carrots and onion.
  • Pour chicken broth (pan drippings/chicken broth combination if you're using it) over beans, carrots, and onion. Mix gently.
  • Add ham and stir again.
  • Throw in ground thyme, basil, and ground black pepper. (Measurements in ingredients section are a guesstimate, I hardly ever use measuring spoons when cooking, I just make a cup in my hand and eyeball it.) To my tastebuds, a little thyme goes a long way so you may wish to add more than 1/2 teaspoon. Stir again.
  • Add bay leaf and push it gently under the surface of the broth so it doesn't float.
  • Cook on high for 1 hour, then low for 8 hours, stirring once in a while if you can. You could probably just cook on low for 8-9 hours if there's nobody home to change the setting. I just like to get things heated up and moving so I do high for an hour on just about everything I put in a Crock Pot.
  • Remove the bay leaf.
  • Add salt just before serving to the whole pot or individual bowls.
  • This may taste good with a drop of Dijon mustard in individual bowls or even a tablespoon or two of cream.
  • If it's too thin, just take the lid off for a while.

GREAT NORTHERN BEAN N HAM SOUP / CROCK POT



Great Northern Bean N Ham Soup / Crock Pot image

Love the creaminess of Northern beans...love this soup as well...this is how I used up the ham bone from Easter...Enjoy!

Provided by Cassie *

Categories     Bean Soups

Time 6h15m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 lb dry northern beans
1 hambone w/ meat or 2 ham hocks
extra ham, chopped of not a lot on your bone or hocks ( i didn't have a lot of ham on my bone, so added cubed ham i had in the freezer)
2 carrots, sliced
2 sweet onions, chopped
2 stalk(s) celery, sliced
6 clove garlic, sliced
2 bay leaves
1/2 - 1 Tbsp dried thyme
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp onion powder
2 Tbsp chopped parsley
1/2 tsp ground cloves
6 c chicken broth
5 c water
2 Tbsp chicken bouillon paste
taste before adding salt at the end

Steps:

  • 1. Place your beans in a large bowl; cover with water and soak overnight. After soaking, pick through and discard any stones or shriveled beans. Rinse thoroughly and place in an 8 quart crock pot. Add all remaining ingredients except for the chopped ham, unless you aren't using a bone. I just use the bone and its meat for cooking, then add other cubed ham at the end.
  • 2. Once all ingredients are added; stir as best as you can - mainly to mix in the bouillon. Place on the lid. Turn pot on low and cook for 6 - 8 hours or on high for 4 - 5 1/2 hours; or until the bean are creamy. All pots cook differently. I started mine on low for the first 4 hours, then turned to high for another 3 1/2 hours...was perfect..

RED BEAN SOUP WITH ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE (CROCK POT)



Red Bean Soup With Andouille Sausage (Crock Pot) image

Posting this for ZWT 2006 (French, Cajun & Creole region). I absolutely love red beans & rice though I make it my own weird way and when I found this recipe, I had to try it. I played with the spices some as it was rather bland the original way. I serve this kind of gumbo style with a scoop of cooked rice put into the bowls before I add the soup.

SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN AND BEAN SOUP (CROCK POT)



Southwestern Chicken and Bean Soup (Crock Pot) image

This soup has a good chili flavor and is simple to pull together even when the refrigerator is looking pretty bare. I do substitute fresh ingredients when I have them and the time to prepare them, but I list canned ones here for convenience (and they do taste pretty good anyhow!). I leave the seeds in my chili pepper, but take them out if you want a milder taste, and adjust the seasonings accordingly as well. This soup is very flexible - it's a good way to use up leftover chicken, beans and corn, and I believe you could use ground beef or turkey or TVP in this just as easily as chicken breast. I found a 6 can soup recipe on the web, but I altered it so much that it became something new, and this is the result.

Provided by Vino Girl

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 6h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 (12 1/2 ounce) can chicken breasts

1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
1 onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1 chili pepper, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 1/2 tablespoons dried parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
monterey jack cheese (optional) or monterey jack pepper cheese (optional)
sour cream (optional)
tortillas (optional) or corn chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Drain and rinse the beans and place in a 6 quart crock pot.
  • Add the chicken, corn, and tomatoes with their juices to the beans.
  • Add the remainder of the ingredients and stir.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or more.
  • We like this better the second day, and really don't think it can be overcooked!
  • Serve the soup in large bowls and top with cheese, sour cream, and/or chips, if desired.

HAM, WHITE BEAN, AND COLLARD GREENS SOUP (CROCK POT)



Ham, White Bean, and Collard Greens Soup (Crock Pot) image

I had a ham shank and some greens that I wanted to use up, but I was also on my way to work so I wanted it to be something I could cook in my slow cooker. After combining bits and pieces of other recipes, this is what I came up with. We ended up loving it so I decided to post it for safekeeping.

Provided by JJ_Ohio

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 8h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ham shank (it has more meat than a hock)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can great northern beans
1 cup yellow onion, chopped
3/4 cup carrot, diced
3/4 cup celery, diced
1 teaspoon hot sauce (more or less to taste)
1 teaspoon dried chipotle powder (chipotle chile powder)
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 bay leaves
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
28 ounces chicken stock (which is 2 cans worth)
8 ounces collard greens, which is about 3 to 4 loosely packed cups, I actually used a prechopped mix that had collard, turnip
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Place smoked ham shank in crock pot.
  • Open can of beans and rinse thoroughly. Place beans in a large bowl.
  • Combine all of the ingredients with the beans (except for salt and pepper) and mix thoroughly. Pour over ham shank.
  • Cover and cook on low for 7 - 8 hours. Remove ham shank from crock. Discard skin, fat and bone. Chop up remaining ham and put back into the crock. Add salt and pepper to taste and adjust any seasoning (more thyme, tobasco, paprika, etc). After adjusting I like to finish off by putting the cover back on and cooking for an additional 30 min on high just to let the adjusted flavor meld together. Remove bay leaves and discard. Portion into four bowls.
  • I had a multigrain baguette that I cut into slices. I smeared each slice with a thin layer of goat cheese and we ate that with it. But I bet cornbread would be equally delicious.

CROCK POT BEEF, BEAN & BACON SOUP



Crock Pot Beef, Bean & Bacon Soup image

This seriously simple soup is full of flavor and spice. You will need at least a 5-quart slow cooker for this reicpe. To save yourself some time in the morning, you can saute the ground beef, onion, garlic and celery the night before and refrigerate until the morning. Then all you have to do is combine the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and come home to a comforting, delicious meal. All you will have left to do is top it with some baked fresh corn tortilla strips, tortilla chips or corn chips and some sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese and green onion - or whatever you like! A nice side salad would be a wonderful accompaniment with this soup. This soup freezes well, also.

A great source of protein and nutrients, plus it tastes so very good on a cool dismal fall or winter day. Heck, this soup even tastes good in the middle of summer. It's a winner.

2 medium carrots
2 clove garlic
1 rib of celery
5 c chicken broth
1/2 c tomato sauce (i use hunts)
4 slice thick sliced bacon
1 Tbsp mrs. dash****
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. THE NIGHT BEFORE: Place beans in a colander or sieve and wash thoroughly, sorting through to pick out foreign objects. Place in large bowl or pan and cover with water plus up to at least 2" above beans. The beans will soak up a LOT of water. Set aside in cool dry place overnight.
  • 2. THE NEXT MORNING: Peel and quarter the onion, place in food processor. Peel the carrots and cut into chunks; place in processor Peel garlic and place in processor Cut celery into 1-1/2" lengths and place in processor. Pulse until veggies are chunky. Set aside.
  • 3. Cook bacon until crisp, drain on paper towel. Set aside.
  • 4. Drain and rinse beans again. Pour beans into crockpot.
  • 5. Add vegetables from processor to crockpot with beans. Crumble and sprinkle the bacon over the vegetables and beans.
  • 6. Sprinkle with Mrs. Dash*** and pepper. Mix tomato sauce into the chicken stock. Pour chicken stock mixture over the beans and vegetables.
  • 7. NOTE: CHICKEN STOCK SHOULD COMPLETELY COVER THE BEANS PLUS UP TO 2" OVER THE TOP OF BEANS. AGAIN, BEANS SOAK UP A LOT OF LIQUID WHEN COOKING.
  • 8. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 hours, then turn to low and cook for 3-4 more hours until beans are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid. You may add more water when cooking if necessary.
  • 9. ***Here is my recipe for Homemade Mrs. Dash equivalent which is so much cheaper than buying Mrs. Dash. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/sauce-spread-seasoning-mix/diy-mrs-dash-seasoning-mix-sallye.html?p=1

NAVY BEAN AND HAM SOUP (IN A CROCK-POT)



Navy Bean And Ham Soup (in a crock-pot) image

I just love this bean soup recipe , my mom taught me how to make this years ago but I have changed it a bit to fit my tastes. You can make this soup with different types of beans if you prefer too. This soup can be made on the stove top too if you don't have a crock-pot.
