Ingredients
- 20 ounces beans or dry white beans, dry, mixed
- 8 cups chicken broth reduced sodium
- 1 pound ham bone or smoked turkey, meaty
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped
- 2 ribs celery diced, optional
- 2 medium carrot chopped, optional
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes with juices, canned
- 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon parsley dried
Instructions
- 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.
- In a large pot, combine drained beans, broth, ham bone, and onion. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and let simmer for 1½-2 hours or until beans are softened.
- Remove the ham bone from the soup and remove the meat from the bone. Cut into bite-size pieces.
- 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.
- Taste, and season with salt and pepper as needed.
Notes
- Dried bean mixes come in 15- to 24-ounce packages. For the smaller package, reduce the broth by 1 ½ cups. For the larger package, add extra broth or water as needed during the simmering.
- For a thicker broth, simmer uncovered for the last 45 minutes or mash some of the beans with a potato masher.
- If your beans have a seasoning packet, it can be added with the diced tomatoes. Taste before adding any additional salt.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5 days and in the freezer for 6 months.
