Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups mixed dried beans
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1/2 tsp each: salt black pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, sweet paprika, hot smoked paprika, cayenne pepper and garlic powder
- 1 ham bone plus 2 cups chopped ham if you don't have a bone, ask your butcher for one
- 8 cups water
- 2 carrots diced
- 1 cup mixed bell peppers diced
- handful of chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Rinse the beans and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large heavy bottomed soup pot and saute the onion for a few minutes. Add in the herbs and spices, ham bone and 8 cups water. Bring up to a boil. Turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for an hour.
- Add the beans and bring the soup back up to a simmer. Cook until the beans are tender. Add in the carrots and peppers.
- If you like a thicker soup, mash some of the beans withthe back of your spoon until you get it as thick as you want it. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- At this point I like to let the soup cool and then refrigerate until ready to eat. This gives the soup time to develop some extra flavor.
- Reheat the soup add the parsley right before serving.
Notes
- For a different take on ham and beans, try my Creamy Ham and Bean Broth.
