Ham Bean And Potato Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Place beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let soak, 8 hours to overnight.
• Strain and rinse beans. Transfer to a large stockpot with ham bone, ham, tomato sauce, onions, celery, bouquet garni, parsley, baking soda, salt, and pepper. Cover with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours. Add potatoes and carrots, and continue to simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Season with salt if necessary and remove ham bone to serve.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, saute the ham, onion and garlic in butter until onion is tender. Add the next seven ingredients; cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Add peas and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in parsley.

Steps:

• 1. In a skillet, saute ham, onion and garlic in butter until onion is tender.
• 2. Peel potatoes and add to a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to boil and then turn down to medium and continue to cook for 15 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Drain and rinse with cold water. Let rest for 5 minutes before chopping.
• 3. Take 1 can of drained beans and puree in blender with a little bit of water until thick and smooth.
• 4. To a large stockpot, combine sauteed items, chopped potatoes, pureed beans and the next 8 ingredients. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 40 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
• 5. To thicken the soup, stir together cornstarch and water until smooth. Slow stir into soup pot. Continue to cook for 5 more minutes to allow soup to thicken.

Steps:

• Once all the ingredients are prepped, put them in a large saucepan.
• Fill pan with water until it just covers the ingredients.
• Bring to a boil. Boil until the potatoes and green beans are cooked. 15-20 minutes.
• Add salt to taste (usually a generous amount).

Steps:

• Sort, wash and soak beans overnight. Drain, rinse and put in the crock pot, stirring in all of the remaining ingredients. Add enough water to cover all ingredients, typically almost to the top of the pot. I usually increase the garlic because we love it. Be careful with the salt, I add sparingly to compensate for the ham hock and the additional diced ham. Cover crock pot, cook on high for 3 hours, turn to low for 6 hours or more. I remove the ham hock, cut the meat off, cutting away the fat it in the process and place remaining meat back into the pot.

Steps:

• Place beans in a Dutch oven or soup kettle; add water to cover by 2".
• Bring to a boil; boil for 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 1 hour. Drain.
• Add broth, water, ham bone, bouillon and seasonings; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2 hours (I find I usually add at least an hour to this).
• Sauté' onions, carrots and celery in oil; add to soup along with cubed potato (if using).
• Cover and simmer 1 hour longer.
• Debone ham and cut into chunks; return to soup.
• Skim fat (I find I don't have any to skim).
• I like to mash some of the beans once they get soft. My total cooking time is more like 6 hours than 4 hours.
• Great served with corn bread.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a stockpot over medium heat until golden brown. Stir in carrot, celery, onion, ham, and garlic; cook and stir for 5-6 minutes, until the vegetables soften and the onions are translucent.
• Stir in flour; cook for about 3 minutes. Stir in chicken broth, 1 cup at a time. Add water and stir to combine. Turn the heat to high and bring to a simmer. Simmer on medium-low for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Taste the soup for salt and add more if necessary. Stir in potatoes; cook for 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Skim fat if desired.
• With a potato masher, mash the soup a few times, leaving plenty of whole chunks of potato. Season with salt and pepper to taste, add cayenne if desired, and add cream. Stir to combine and heat through. Garnish with fresh chives.

Steps:

• Rinse and sort beans before adding to a pot of water and bringing to boil for 3 minutes.
• Set aside to soak for 1 hour.
• While beans are soaking, melt butter in large soup pot.
• Saute onions, carrots, and celery for 3-5 minutes.
• Add 8 cups water, bay leaf, salt and dash of pepper.
• Add halved potatoes.
• Drain lima beans and add to pot.
• Bring to a boil and then cover and reduce heat to medium low.
• Simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until beans are tender.
• Add cubed ham during last half hour.
• Mash the potato halves to thicken the stock.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
