Ingredients

  • 1 package HamBeens® 15 BEAN SOUP®

  • 2 celery stalks (diced)

  • 3 large carrots (diced)

  • 1 small onion (diced)

  • 1 pound diced ham (you can also use a leftover, meaty ham bone)

  • 8 cups chicken broth

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 bay leaf

  • chopped fresh thyme (for garnish)

Cooking Directions

  1. Remove seasoning packet from beans and set aside. Sort any unwanted debris from beans, then rinse and drain.

  2. Place celery, carrots, onion, ham (or entire ham bone if using), chicken broth, garlic, paprika, and beans in a 6-quart slow cooker.

  3. Cook on high 5-7 hours (or low for 7-8) or until beans are tender. (Crock pots all cook at different rates, so check the beans for doneness).

  4. Once tender, remove the bay leaf (and the hambone if used. Chop any meat left on the bone and add it back to the pot.)

  5. Stir in the Ham Flavor packet.

  6. Cook for additional 30 minutes, then serve warm.
