HAM, BEAN, AND POTATO SOUP



Ham, Bean, and Potato Soup image

There's nothing more satisfying than home cookin', and there's nothing more home cookin' than a thick, hearty soup on a fall or winter's day. This is a very basic, traditional soup using a ham bone and the trimmings from a baked ham, pre-sliced or not. If you bake your own hams but have been throwing out the bone, you're missing out on something very special!

NAVY BEAN, HAM AND POTATO SOUP

This is a very hearty soup which can be prepared in a crock pot. Full of veggies and great flavors.

Provided by bwigstrom

Categories     Ham

Time 9h20m

Yield 1 1/2 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb dried navy beans
1 large smoked ham hock
1 cup chopped ham
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 carrots, chopped
3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 large onion, chopped
3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
5 cups water, to cover all contents

Steps:

  • Sort, wash and soak beans overnight. Drain, rinse and put in the crock pot, stirring in all of the remaining ingredients. Add enough water to cover all ingredients, typically almost to the top of the pot. I usually increase the garlic because we love it. Be careful with the salt, I add sparingly to compensate for the ham hock and the additional diced ham. Cover crock pot, cook on high for 3 hours, turn to low for 6 hours or more. I remove the ham hock, cut the meat off, cutting away the fat it in the process and place remaining meat back into the pot.

Categories     Other Soups

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 Tbsp butter
1 c each - slivered or shredded carrots and chopped onion
1/2 c sliced celery
2 Tbsp chunky garlic paste or minced garlic
3 - 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 Tbsp parsley paste or chopped parsley
salt & pepper - to taste
dried thyme - 1/2 tsp - optional
2 - 15.5 oz cans, great northern beans, drained and rinsed. - smash up one can of beans with potato masher
48 oz chicken broth
1 1/2 tsp better than buillion chicken flavored paste - or dried buillion
1 1/2 Tbsp flour
1 c sour cream
3/4 c heavy cream
4 - 6 oz shredded cheddar cheese
1 c cubed, cooked ham

Steps:

  • 1. In a dutch oven, over medium heat - melt butter. To this add the onion, celery, carrots and garlic. Salt and pepper. Cook and stir until veggies are beginning to become tender.
  • 2. Once veggies are cooked, add the broth, bullion, potatoes, thyme if using and parsley. Bring to a boil and then simmer until potatoes are tender. ( About 25 minutes.)
  • 3. Smash 1 can of beans with potato masher and set aside.
  • 4. Once potatoes are tender, stir in whole and smashed beans. Stir. Continue simmering, another 5 minutes. Add ham and stir.
  • 5. Mix together the sour cream, cream, and flour.
  • 6. Stir this mixture into the potato mixture and then add the cheese, stir until melted. I then took my potato masher and twice smashed down the soup mixture, just enough to smash some of the potatoes. You can skip this part, just makes the soup a little thicker.
  • 7. Now, taste soup and adjust salt and pepper accordingly.
  • 8. Serve in individual bowls and add some shredded cheese if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of ham: The type of ham you use will affect the flavor of your soup. A smoked ham will give the soup a more intense flavor, while a cured ham will give it a milder flavor. You can also use ham hocks, which are less expensive and will add a rich flavor to the soup.
  • Soak the beans overnight: This will help to soften the beans and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them in water for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to your soup. Some good choices for vegetables to use in potato ham and bean soup include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes. You can also add other vegetables, such as green beans, corn, or okra.
  • Season the soup to taste: Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or other spices to taste.
  • Serve the soup with a side of bread or crackers: This will help to soak up the broth and make the soup more filling.

Conclusion:

Potato ham and bean soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a relatively inexpensive and easy-to-make soup, making it a great option for busy families. By following the tips above, you can make a delicious and satisfying potato ham and bean soup that your family and friends will love.
