Ingredients
- 1 package HamBeens® 15 BEAN SOUP® with seasoning packet
- 4 cups water
- 4 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
- 1 smoked ham hock or leftover ham or smoked sausage
- 1 onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 15 ounces canned diced tomatoes with juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Rinse beans and drain. Sort any unwanted debris and set seasoning packet aside.
- Place beans in a large pot of cool water. Cover and allow to soak at least 8 hours or overnight. After soaking, drain water.
- Add water and broth to a large pot
- If using smoked ham hock, add with the water and broth to a large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cover. Cook 1 hour. (Note: if using ham bone, leftover ham or smoked sausage, it can be added along the beans in the step below and does not need to pre-cook.)
- Add, onion, garlic, and drained beans and reduce heat to a simmer, and cover. Cook 1 ½ to 2 hours or until beans are tender.
- Stir in tomatoes, chili powder, and lemon juice. Simmer uncovered for an additional 30 minutes or until thickened.
- Stir in the seasoning packet from the beans and season with salt & pepper to taste. Simmer 1 minute more.
Notes
- IMPORTANT: Add acidic ingredients (tomatoes/lemon juice) only after the beans have softened. They can interfere with rehydration.
- Optional, add vegetables (carrot, celery) at the end of the cooking time for about 30 minutes
- Soaking beans before cooking decreases cooking time and can remove some of the complex sugars, making them more digestible. Be sure to discard the soaking liquid and use fresh water for cooking.
- Soaking is not required. If beans are not soaked, add 1 cup extra liquid and cook 1-hour more (or until beans are tender).
- In this recipe, I find ham hock is best cooked for 1 hour before adding the beans. It adds extra flavor to the broth and ensures the meat is tender. If using a ham bone, smoked sausage, or leftover ham add it along with the broth.
