Author Notes
15-bean soup simmered in a crock pot is the perfect dinnertime solution on a busy day! This comforting, nutritious soup is hearty and filling, but not heavy. Slow cooker ham and bean soup are just what your body craves on a cold day, too.

Ingredients
16 ounces
Dry 15 bean soup
8 cups
water
1 piece
large bone ham
1 piece
can diced tomatoes
1 piece
small onion
2 pieces
cloves garlic
1 teaspoon
chili powder
2 tablespoons
lemon juice
Directions
- In a colander or sieve, rinse beans thoroughly. Sort and inspect for any unwanted debris and discard. Drain beans.
- I prefer soaking my beans overnight or using a quick soak method to ensure they are softened through. But you can make these beans with a no-soak method.
- Add beans to the slow cooker with 8 cups of water or broth (6 cups if beans are presoaked), ham bone or hamhock, tomatoes, onions, and garlic.
- Stir to combine. Set slow cooker to high for 5-7 hours. At the end of 5 hours, I recommend checking to see if the beans are tender. You can continue cooking the soup on warm until ready to serve.
- After the beans are tender, remove the hambone (leave any ham in the pot) and remove any remaining meat from the bone.
- I love serving bean soup with freshly baked corn bread! Or, serve it over rice.
