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.

Time 8h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

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.

Tips:

Soak dried beans overnight or for at least 8 hours before cooking. This will help them cook faster and more evenly.
If you don't have time to soak the beans, you can use a quick-soak method. Bring the beans to a boil in a large pot of water, then turn off the heat and let them sit for 1 hour. Drain the beans and rinse them before using.
Use a variety of beans in your soup. This will give it a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, and navy beans.
Use fresh, flavorful greens in your soup. Collard greens, kale, and spinach are all good choices.
Add a variety of spices and herbs to your soup to taste. Some good options include cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Serve your soup with a side of cornbread, crackers, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Crock-pot beans and greens soup is a delicious, hearty, and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a very affordable meal, making it a great option for families on a budget. With a little planning, you can easily make this soup in your crock pot, freeing up your time to do other things.
