What is a good recipe for a ham and bean soup?

I have some leftover Christmas ham and wanted to make a ham and bean soup. Any good recipes?





Thank you!What is a good recipe for a ham and bean soup?
Just boil the hambone by covering it with water and turning on the stove. You can use navy beans or split pea. The navy bean is best if you soak it overnight before making the soup. The split pea you just dump the dried split pea right into the boiling water and cook it for around 1 or 2 hours. Dice up whatever you have, usually onion and carrot, and also add some bay leaf. If it isn't meaty enough, add a cube of bullion (chicken or pork bullion works well, do NOT add beef bullion!) Just let it cook until the beans are soft. It is great! Use some black pepper when you serve it, sprinkle on top. You could also use canned beans but it does not taste nearly as good as from scratch with the dried beans. It gets a kind of tinny taste.What is a good recipe for a ham and bean soup?
Depending on the amount of ham, add beans accordingly. To give it extra flavor add chicken bullion equivalent to the bean amount for flavor I also throw in things like scallions, jalapenos and garlic for extra flavor but you need to use that at your discretion it's kind of like a soup for u. If you like it throw it in the tastes blended together are great. Go with the flow.
wash your PINTO beans to remove all dirt and any possibility of rocks, and bad beans.





place in crock pot with about 2 qt water. cook on high for about 30 min, add salt, pepper, a pinch of red pepper, your ham, and onion powder. continue cooking on high for 5 hours or until beans are soft enough for your taste. About 30 min before they are ready, place 1 onion diced in them, and a dash of worchestire sauce.
Saute some chopped up onions, a stalk of celery and a sliced up carrot until kind of soft. then throw in some chopped up ham. add a 1/2 cup white wine and let it cook for a minute or two to burn off the alcohol. Toss in a few bay leaves, some fresh ground pepper then a large can of low sodium chicken stock. Bring it up to a simmer and throw in a couple of cans of white beans and a let simmer for about 5 minutes. When just about ready to serve toss in a bag of prewashed baby spinach. Very tasty when topped with a bit of parmesan cheese!
Beans and ham works.
