Bean & Ham Soup


  • Author: Carlotta
  • Yield: 8 1x

Description

Warm and comforting — like a food hug — without a lot of hassle


Ingredients

Scale
  • Ham bone
  • total 13 cups water
  • 2 1/2 cups (or one 20-ounce package) mixed dry beans — like the 15 bean soup blend
  • 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 2 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 bay leaves

Instructions

  1. Cook ham bone in 6 cups water for 45 minutes on high in pressure cooker, or at least 2 hours stovetop. Remove meat from bone, discarding bone. Strain the broth, and chill it overnight so you can skim the fat.
  2. Pour about 7 cups of boiling water over beans and soak overnight in a large bowl of water. Drain beans, and rinse very well.
  3. Put broth, ham, beans, tomatoes, onion, garlic, white wine, chili powder and bay leaves into pressure cooker. Cover and cook on high for 10 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally.
  4. Remove the bay leaves, and serve hot.

Notes

To cook on the stovetop, simmer (already soaked) beans and ham broth with the bay leaves for 2 hours, then add remaining ingredients and simmer another hour, stirring occasionally.
