Cooking Instructions

Place the beans in a large stock pot and cover with 10 cups water. Let the beans soak overnight or bring the pot to a boil, then turn off the heat. Cover and allow to soak for at least one hour.

After soaking, pour the beans into a strainer and clean the pot. Run the beans under cold water to rinse until the water runs clear.

Allow the beans to drain while sauteing the onion and garlic. Add the oil to the pan and cook over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until softened. Add the garlic and cook one more minute.

When the onion and garlic are cooked, pour in the chicken broth, water, ham, split peas, and beans. Also add in fresh herbs & dried seasonings to taste. Stir to combine.

Ham and Bean Soup Ham and Bean Soup
This isn't the most traditional way of making ham and bean soup but still has amazing flavor. I didn't use ham hock, ham shank or bacon which seems to be common. We used a homemade ham stock that we had in the freezer made from the bone of a spiral ham. For the ham chunks I used a combination of leftover ham from a holiday meal and the last bit of the ham I smoked this past summer. If you don't have smoked ham or double smoked in my case you can use a smoked turkey leg and let it simmer in the pot. Or even a drop or two of liquid smoke just to give the extra depth of flavor. Also used the dehydrated onion in place of fresh chopped because it seemed like it would just get lost in there. The only thing I might do differently next time is add spinach or another green to the party.

Bean & Ham Hock soup Bean & Ham Hock soup
Bean soup with the slightly smoky flavor of ham hocks (smoked pig knuckle). Of course ham could be substituted, I just enjoy the extra richness ham hocks bring. Takes awhile to cook, but it is more, do a little prep, cook for awhile, so you can do other things while this cooks. This has an awesome flavor, and I usually buy a bean mix, well, I like to mix it up a little.So try it, and enjoy.

Black Bean (w/ Ham) Soup Black Bean (w/ Ham) Soup
This is a go to soup (meal) when I have leftover ham from a holiday meal. The smoked ham hock adds a great flavor. For a traditional Cuban meal, omit the meat and dairy, and serve with white rice. To “Mexican-ize” the dish, add some “heat” (jalapeno or hot sauce) within the cooking process and garnish with cilantro, salsa, etc.

With Thanksgiving over and LOTS of ham leftover, I thought of ways to get some use out of it without burning out my family with just reheating and serving as is. This is a great soup and a nice change from all the heavy Thanksgiving meals.
