Ham and Bean Soup

Classic comfort food, Ham and Bean Soup combines ham with pantry staples for a big hearty soup with lots of flavor. This one-pot dinner is the perfect budget friendly way to feed a crowd!

Ingredients :
  • 20 ounces dry mixed beans or dry white beans
  • 8 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 1 pound meaty ham bone or smoked turkey
  • 1 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 2 ribs celery diced
  • 2 medium carrots chopped
  • 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes with juices
  • 1½ teaspoons chili powder or 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Directions :
  1. Rinse the beans and check for any debris. Add the beans into a large pot and cover with cool water. Soak at room temperature for at least 8 hours or overnight. Drain.
  2. In a large pot, combine drained beans, broth, ham bone, and onion (do not add tomatoes until the beans are tender). Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and let simmer for 1½ to 2 hours or until beans are softened.
  3. Remove the ham bone from the soup and remove the meat from the bone. Cut into bite-size pieces.
  4. Add the ham back to the pot, celery and carrot if using, diced tomatoes with juices, chili powder, and parsley. Cover and simmer 30 minutes more.
  5. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
