Loaded Bean Soup

Load up on fiber, protein and other key nutrients with this tasty slow cooker soup recipe for Loaded Bean Soup. This healthy take on a 16 bean soup is a surefire hit that everyone will enjoy.

Notes

In the package of beans there is a nasty "ham flavoring" packet that I just throw out. I use the smoked ham hocks or anything that is cheap and then I throw that meat out because it is usually tasteless by then. I just use it for the flavor.


To make this recipe on the stovetop:



  1. Sort and wash beans and place in pot. Cover with water two inches above the beans and soak overnight.

     

  2. Drain beans; add two quarts water and the onion and garlic.

     

  3. Cover and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 1 1/2 hours or until beans are tender.

     

  4. Add ham hocks, salt and tomatoes and simmer an additional 30 minutes.
