How to make Ham and 15 Bean Soup

Timing details

No verified total time is available. Review the method for preparation, cooking and waiting times.

  1. 01

    Soak beans overnight; if you prefer you may place the beans in a medium saucepan, cover with water and bring to a fast boil. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for one hour. Rinse and use.

  2. 02

    Place ham bone and cubed ham in a large stockpot. Cover with water and bring to a rolling boil over medium high heat.

  3. 03

    Lower heat to medium low and add rinsed beans, vegetables, spices and wine

  4. 04

    Let simmer for three to four hours, stirring occasionally. I like to let this soup simmer for a long time because the flavors melt together so beautifully.

  5. 05

    This recipe makes roughly 3 1/2 quarts of soup. I prefer to make a giant pot, because there is nothing like leftovers and also it freezes very well. Simply let cool, place remaining soup in a freezer container or bag and freeze. Thaw and serve on a busy weekday evening and you have a delicious home cooked meal! If you prefer to make a smaller batch, then cut the ingredients in half.
