BEST HAM AND BEAN SOUP EVER
Steps:
- 1. Soak beans the night before. I also like to cut and chop all my other ingredients the night before, so I can just throw it all in the pot the next morning to simmer for 8 hours. 2. Place the soaked beans into a large pot and fill with enough water to cover by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then simmer over low for 30 minutes. 3. Drain. Add the ham bone (place inside cloth tea bag or cheesecloth, as it may fall apart during simmering), ham, onion, celery, carrots, tomatoes, vegetable juice, and vegetable broth. Season with Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, chili powder, bay leaves, pepper, parsley and lemon juice. Pour in enough of the chicken broth to cover the ingredients. 4. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 8 hours. Add more chicken broth as needed throughout the day. Remove the ham bone and season with salt if needed. Continue to simmer for a couple more hours. Remove bay leaves before serving.
Tips:
- Soak the beans overnight: This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more tender.
- Use a variety of beans: This will add flavor and texture to the soup. Some good options include navy beans, pinto 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 the soup. Look for a ham that is smoked or cured.
- Add vegetables to the soup: This will make it more nutritious and flavorful. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
- Season the soup to taste: Use salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
- Serve the soup with a side of cornbread or crackers: This will help to make it a complete meal.
