Southern Butter Bean Soup with Smoked Sausage image

This is a great comforting soup on a chilly day. It may take a while, but it is well worth the time it takes. It's an easy, flavorful soup to make. I like to serve this with cornbread muffins and butter. I hope you give it a try some time - I think you will enjoy it.

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large smoked ham hocks
1 lb dry butter beans
1 medium onion, diced
1 medium bell pepper, diced
1 large jalapeno, with a slice down the middle
2 c chicken broth
1 pkg smoked sausage, diced
1/2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp to 1 teaspoon salt to taste
1/2 tsp to 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper to taste
1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
3 clove garlic, minced

Steps:

  • 1. In a large stock pot add 8 cups of water and the ham hocks. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to medium low and simmer ham hocks for 2 hours.
  • 2. To the pot add dry beans, onion, bell pepper, sugar, salt, pepper, jalapeno, garlic, and thyme. Simmer for another hour. Note - the jalapeno will add flavor without the soup being spicy.
  • 3. Remove ham hocks and discard jalapeno. Add chicken broth and diced smoked sausage. Simmer for 20 minutes.
  • 4. Remove ham from the ham hocks and return back to the soup pot.
  • 5. Taste for seasoning and serve with your favorite bread. Corn bread is a favorite of ours.

I'm not a big fan of smoked sausage, so I used regular sausage instead. It still turned out great!
