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.

Best use I have ever found for left over ham! Be sure to save the pan drippings and chill them so you can remove the fat leaving behind the good tasting juices that flavor the soup broth so well.

This delicious soup is an upgrade to your typical pot of beans. It punches up the flavor with 15 types of beans, smoky ham, and layers of unique ingredients that will warm your soul on a chilly night. Serve it with homemade cornbread for a hearty, healthy, low fat, protein packed dinner. If you're family likes mildly spicy foods, try Hurst Cajun 15 Bean Blend for this recipe.

Provided by Faux Chef Lael

Time 4h30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 (20 ounce) package dry beans (I recommend Hurst 15 Bean blend, with included spice packet)
1 ham bone
2 1/2 cups ham, chopped
1 cup bacon bits (please use real bacon bits, not imitation salad topping)
5 large carrots, chopped, divided in half
3 stalks celery & leaves, chopped, divided in half
1 large onion, chopped, divided in half
10 cups chicken broth, divided
3 bay leaves
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 drops liquid smoke
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (or spicy brown)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon ground rosemary
1 teaspoon black pepper, ground
1 (12 ounce) can vegetable juice (V8)
2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel)
3 tablespoons lemon juice (approximately 1 large lemon)

Steps:

  • Notes before you begin: Sort through your beans carefully and discard any small stones or debris, and any damaged beans. Rinse the beans with cool water. You have two options for preparing your beans before you cook them. You can either 1) soak them overnight in cold water, or 2) cover the beans with water, bring to a boil for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat, cover the beans and let rest for 70 minutes in the hot water. Drain the beans and add them to a large stock pot. Now your beans are ready to use.
  • To your stock pot and beans, add the ham bone, chopped ham, bacon bits, half the onion, half the celery, half the carrots, and enough broth to cover 2 inches over the beans. Season with Worcestershire sauce, Liquid Smoke, Dijon mustard, chili powder, bay leaves, pepper, parsley, rosemary.
  • Simmer uncovered over low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 2.5 hours. Add more chicken broth as needed to keep beans covered.
  • Remove the ham bone. Add diced tomatoes and chillies, vegetable juice, and remaining vegetables. Continue to simmer for 1 hour. Add more broth as needed.
  • Add the seasoning packet that came with the dry beans. Add lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 30 minutes while you make cornbread, rice, or other side dishes. Remove bay leaves before serving.
  • TIPS: It is important that you don't add acidic ingredients such as tomatoes or lemon juice until the end of the cooking process as noted above. Acid tends to affect cooking times and can make beans tough and chewy.
  • Beans contain a natural sugar called Riffanose that is not digestible by the human body and can cause excess gas. One way to cut down on the gas is to cook a large, peeled potato with your beans for at least one hour. I cut the potato in half and add it during the first hour of cooking. Be sure to take it out and discard it. Eating it can make you sick to your stomach, as the potato absorbs a large percentage of the Riffanose.
  • Finally, it's important to note that it takes several hours for the flavor of this soup to properly develop, so resist the urge to taste it until the last 30 minutes. Definitely do not add salt until the end because it tends to get saltier as the broth cooks out. If you find it to be too salty, add hot water. As with any soup or stew, the flavor is best the next day, so feel free to make ahead. This soup can be made in the crock pot, using a full 8 hours cooking time. It freezes well.

Tips for Making the Best Ham and Bean Soup

  • Choose the right type of ham. A good quality bone-in ham will give the soup the best flavor. If you don't have a bone-in ham, you can use a ham steak or diced ham, but the flavor will not be as rich.
  • Soak the beans overnight. This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more tender.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. The more vegetables you add to the soup, the more flavorful it will be. Some good vegetables to use include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and green beans.
  • Season the soup well. Ham and bean soup is a hearty soup, so it can handle a lot of seasoning. Be sure to add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, shredded cheese, and crumbled bacon.

Conclusion

Ham and bean soup is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a hearty and delicious meal, give ham and bean soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
