15 Bean & Ham Soup (Slow Cooker)

Shared with me by: Cami G (friend)

A hearty soup with literally no work!
Don't need to soak the beans or need a ham bone.

Ingredients

  • 20 oz. pkg. of Hurst’s ham beans for 15 Bean Soup (dry beans)
  • 1 lb. cooked ham, diced or 2 (7 oz.) Jones ham steaks
  • 3 carrots, diced
  • 2 stalk celery, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 t. paprika
  • ½ t. dry thyme
  • 8 c. chicken stock (Kitchen Basics)

Instructions

Remove seasoning packet from beans and set aside.

Sort any unwanted debris from the beans, then rinse and drain.

Place all ingredients in a 6-quart slow cooker or crockpot. Cook on high 5 to 6-1/2 hours or until beans are tender. Start checking bean tenderness at 5 hours.

Remove bay leaf and stir in seasoning packet from the bean package.

NOTE: Serves 8
