Easy Slow Cooker White Bean and Ham Soup

January 7, 2015 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 4 Comments

It’s soup season. And what could be easier or ore delicious than a white bean and ham soup?

Once the first chill sets in I immediately start to prepare for “nesting” season. Cosy throw blankets and comfort food are on the menu. One of our family favorites is white bean and ham soup. It is hearty, filling, delicious and easy.

white bean and ham soup

I love soup and like to have at least one pot a week on the stove in the winter, it makes the house toasty and is always nice to have something to warm the belly after a long day away.

This soup could not be easier, you can make it on the stove or in a crock pot, either way it turns out perfect! I like to soak the beans over night the day before I am making the soup, other people skip that step and still have great results with this soup.

White Bean and Ham Soup

Ingredients

2 lbs dried beans, soaked overnight and then culled

2 Tablespoons olive oil

1 cup diced yellow onion

5 clover of garlic diced

1 ham bone from a spiral ham or 11/2 cups of diced ham

6 cups of chicken/vegetable broth

2 cups of water

2 springs fresh rosemary

1 spring fresh thyme

4 fresh bay leaves

Salt and pepper to taste, AFTER the beans are cooked

Directions

Turn the crock-pot to high, add the olive oil, onions, and garlic and the chopped ham or ham bone. Rinse the pre-soaked beans, making sure to get rid of the stones. Add the beans to the pot, and then add the broth and water, making sure that the beans are covered by at least two inches of water. Then throw in the fresh thyme, rosemary and bay leaves. Put on the lid and cook for a minimum of 6 hours, or until the beans are soft. Some pots make take more or less time.

Once the beans are soft, salt and pepper the soup to taste.  Serve with fresh crusty bread and enjoy!

UNTIL TOMORROW

I hope that you enjoy the white bean and ham soup!

    I was just about to make a Tuscan white bean soup yesterday – I had made cornbread and had it sitting on the counter to cool. I bring out my pot, reach into the pantry for the beans….NO BEANS! And it was too cold to run out to the store to get any! So I'm getting my beans this week and making my version on the weekend!

    No Wisconsin this year my friend? I do hope that your time at home will be productive,soothing and inspiring.

    Now back to school for me this morning. That was one fine TWO WEEK vacation for me! Happy 2015! Anita

    It should only take four or five months to get used to saying and writing 2015.

    This looks SO warm and tasty – perfect for a cold winter's day! I am making a big pot of chicken soup tonight and we will eat it all week. 🙂

    Hope you are staying warm and that you have a lovely week, my dear! xoxo

    Hello and happy 2015 to you! That soup looks so good and hearty, my mom used to make that and it was always such a great comfort food in the colder months. Hope your new year is off to a great start….
