Ingredients
- 20 ounces 15 Bean Soup mix (recommend Hurst's HamBeens)
- 3 quarts water divided
- 1 quart chicken broth
- 1 pound smoked ham hocks
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 ribs celery chopped
- 2 carrots peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes with juice
- 3 cloves garlic
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Juice of 1 lemon
- fresh parsley if desired, for garnish
Instructions
- Place the beans in a large soup pot and add 2 quarts of water. Cover and allow to soak 8 hours or overnight.
- Drain the beans and return them to the pot.
- Add one quart of water, the chicken broth, and ham hocks. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
- Add all the remaining ingredients except lemon juice. Simmer for an additional 30 minutes or more until all the vegetables and beans are tender. Note: You can also remove the ham hocks at this point and add some sliced kielbasa or other sausage to the pot for the final cooking time.
- Just before serving, add lemon juice.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- If you don't have access to ham hocks, you can also use a leftover ham bone or even smoked turkey wings. Or add sliced smoked sausage for the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
- Leftovers should be cooled completely and stored in a sealed, air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or larger portions in a pot on the stove at medium-low heat until lightly simmering.
- To freeze, transfer the cooled soup into a freezer safe container. Be sure to label the container with the contents and the date it was cooked. To reheat, thaw it completely in the fridge, then heat it in a pot on the stovetop as directed above.
- For the crockpot, cook on high for 5-7 hours. Test whether the beans are done and cook longer if needed.
