Crock-Pot 15 Bean and Ham Soup

Yummy Crock-Pot 15 Bean and Ham Soup with tomatoes, garlic, and onion. This hearty recipe hits the spot and was inspired to use up some leftover ham.

Crock-Pot 15 Bean and Ham Soup

Slow Cooker 15 Bean and Ham Soup

The day before I made this super yummy recipe for Crock-Pot 15 Bean and Ham Soup I had cooked up a picnic ham in the crock-pot. Once we were done with the ham we were left with a huge ham bone with some yummy attached ham that can be sort of hard to get off. Instead of trying to pry that stubborn ham off the bone I decided to use it in a delicious soup.

I scrounged around in my pantry and found a package of 15 bean soup hiding behind a box of cereal or something. It was just begging me to turn it into some amazing soup.

Fun Food Fact

15 bean soup is really just a mixture of beans. Usually containing the following beans: Northern, Pinto, Large Lima, Blackeye, Garbanzo, Baby Lima, Green Split, Kidney, Cranberry, Small White, Pink, Small Red, Yellow Split, Lentil, Navy, White Kidney, Black Bean. Some packages come with a seasoning packet while some are just the beans. You can usually find the bean mix in the section of your local grocery store where they sell other dried beans.

Ingredients

  • 20 Ounces 15 Bean Soup Mix (1 package (discard the seasoning packet if yours comes with one))
  • 1 Medium Yellow Onion (Peeled and diced)
  • 1 Clove Garlic (Minced)
  • 2 Teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 29 Ounces Canned Diced Tomatoes (Undrained)
  • 8 Ounces Tomato Sauce
  • 1 Whole Ham Bone (With some meat still attached)
  • 2 Quarts Water

Instructions

  • Wash and sort the beans and place in a 6 – 7 quart slow cooker.
  • Add onions, garlic, salt, diced tomatoes and tomato sauce.
  • Place ham bone into slow cooker and add water. If you don’t have enough room for all of the water, that is okay, you can add it later if you need to.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 10 to 12 hours or until the beans are tender.
  • An hour before you are ready to serve, carefully pull out the ham and bone with tongs. The meat should fall off the bone, but if it does not feel free to remove the meat and cut it up. Add the meat back into your slow cooker with the beans and stir.

Notes

As your beans cook and absorb the water as it cooks, feel free to add more water. Keep in mind however that you should never fill your crock-pot more than 2/3 of the way full. This causes dishes to cook much slower than the recipe calls for.
We strongly recommend cooking this recipe on LOW and not converting it to a HIGH cooking time. The beans need plenty of times to absorb liquid and become tender.
Weight Watchers SmartPoints calculated based on 6 ounces of cooked ham for the entire recipe. We strongly suggest you weigh how much ham you get from your ham bone and calculate the recipe accordingly.

    What happens if all the water doesn’t fit in. I still have about 3 cups of water left?

      Let the beans cook up a bit and absorb some of the water and then add the other 3 cups.

    Thank you for sharing this recipe. For the vegetarian, what could one do in regards to the ham hock? Could it simply be omitted?

      Yes, you could just omit the ham hock and it would be 100% vegetarian. You may want to add some additional salt to the recipe but I would cook it as written minus the ham hock and then season to taste once cooked. You can always add more salt to a recipe but you can’t take it out!

      You should be able to find 15 bean mix at most major grocery stores in the same area as where you would find other dried beans. I have found it at my local Super Walmart, Albertsons and Kroger store. However you can also purchase it online at the following link: https://amzn.to/2XrOcJF
