Tips for Making Jamaican Ham and Bean Soup

  • Choose the right beans. Red peas, also known as kidney beans, are the traditional bean used in Jamaican ham and bean soup. However, you can also use other types of beans, such as black beans, navy beans, or pinto beans.
  • Rinse the beans well before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will make your soup more flavorful and nutritious. Some good vegetables to use include carrots, celery, onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes.
  • Use smoked ham hocks. These will give your soup a delicious smoky flavor. You can also use ham steak or diced ham, but smoked ham hocks are the best choice.
  • Season your soup well. Jamaican ham and bean soup is typically seasoned with thyme, scallions, garlic, and allspice. You can also add other spices, such as black pepper, cumin, or chili powder.
  • Cook the soup until the beans are tender. This will usually take about 1-2 hours. You can also cook the soup in a slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite sides. Some good sides to serve with Jamaican ham and bean soup include rice, cornbread, or salad.

Conclusion

Jamaican ham and bean soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a relatively inexpensive soup to make, and it is a great way to use up leftover ham. If you are looking for a new soup to try, I highly recommend Jamaican ham and bean soup.
