15 BEAN SOUP® CROCK POT OR SLOW COOKER RECIPE

Steps:

• NO SOAK METHOD
• In a colander or sieve, rinse beans thoroughly. Sort and inspect for any unwanted debris and discard.
• Drain and pour beans in a slow cooker with 8 cups of stock/water, onions, garlic, and meat or hambone. (Not tomato or lemon juice yet!). Use 9-10 cups of liquid if you like a more "brothy" soup.
• Stir to combine. Set slow cooker on high and cook for 5-7 hours then check to make sure beans are tender. The soup can continue to simmer for several hours and will develop more flavor over time.
• After the beans are tender, remove the hambone (leave any ham in the pot), stir in the can of diced tomatoes, our Ham Flavor packet, optional chili powder, and the lemon juice.
• Cook for additional 30 minutes then keep warm until ready to serve.
• We recommend to serve with a freshly baked slice of corn bread! You can also serve over rice as well.
• Please keep in mind that every time the lid is opened, your cooking time will be longer.

BEAN & PEA SLOW COOKER SOUP

Steps:

• 1. In a large crock pot, add all of the ingredients that you like EXCEPT sausage, canned green beans and green peas. If using frozen green beans & peas then add with the other beans and peas.
• 2. Add the beer, ham bone (if using) or ham seasoning, and crumbled bacon.
• 3. Cook on low for about 8 hours. *(If using canned green beans and peas add those in the last hour.)
• 4. In the meantime, if you're adding the sausage, cut it into 1/4" circles and pan fry them, stirring often, until they start to brown. Drain on paper towels.
• 5. About 1 hour before serving add the sausage, stir well and heat through. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed.
• 6. Garnish soup with thinly sliced green onion tops and serve with hot buttered corn bread. Enjoy! FREEZES WELL! To Pressure Can: Put hot soup into sterilized jars up to 1/2 inch from top. Seal and tighten band just until you have resistance - DO NOT over-tighten bands. Pressure cook according to the following directions: Dial Gauge Canner - Process at 11 pounds pressure - Pints 60 minutes and Quarts 75 minutes. Over 2000 ft above sea level times may differ. Weighted Gauge Canner - Process at 10 pounds pressure - Pints 60 minutes and Quarts 75 minutes. Over 1000 ft above sea level times may differ. FOOD MUST BE COOKED BEFORE PROCESSING IN PRESSURE CANNER. DO NOT USE THE WATER BATH METHOD ~ I don't want anyone to get sick! *Note: cooked seafood can also be added but the processing time must be increased to 100 minutes for pints and quarts.
• 7. *TIPS: To prepare the night before serving, fry off the bacon and sausage, drain and set aside. Pour bacon grease into a container and refrigerate. Leave the crockpot in the OFF position and dump all the ingredients into the crock pot EXCEPT for the bacon grease and meats, cover and let sit overnight. In the morning add the bacon grease & crumbled bacon (if desired), ham bone and ham, stir and set the unit on low for 8 hours. Before serving add the cooked sausage and heat through. *COOKS NOTES: PLEASE READ - My recipe takes it to the extreme and most crock pots will not hold all of these beans/peas. Use the ones you like or will fit in your crock pot. Corn & tomatoes, in my opinion, really make a difference but can be left out if you don't like them. The 1 Cup of beer can be omitted - it will only alter the taste slightly but the beer does make a difference. This is not a low sodium recipe but it doesn't have an excessive amount of sodium/per serving. The portion you eat will be no saltier or have more sodium than the same size portion of one of the canned peas/beans. There is no salt added to the ingredient list - add it if you need to. The fresh vegetables don't have sodium nor do the dried herbs so that cuts down on the total sodium. If sodium is a problem get as many low-sodium canned items possible. If you must rinse off the creamy liquid from the peas & beans you will lose some of the flavor but it's still good, and if you use sausage, fry it off or boil it first to render the grease out. Make this your own! Drain the veggies that have a thin liquid like corn, green beans, green peas if desired. I prefer the frozen peas because they hold up better in the recipe, but canned is fine. If you want to leave the bouillon out, do it!
• 8. I usually add what I have on hand and sometimes I add lima or butter beans, Rotel tomatoes, a can of V-8 or tomato soup depending on if I want it to have more tomato flavor. This will fill a large crock pot to the very top. Either cut back on some of the ingredients to accommodate your slow cooker or divide it between two crock pots. Share this with family and friends or freeze/pressure can leftovers for later.

SLOW COOKER WHITE BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Mince the garlic, dice the onion, slice the celery, and peel and slice the carrots. Add the olive oil, garlic, onion, celery, and carrots to a large (5qt or larger) slow cooker.
• Give the beans a quick rinse in a colander and then add them to the slow cooker, along with the bay leaf, rosemary, thyme, paprika, and some freshly cracked pepper.
• Add six cups of water to the slow cooker and stir to combine the ingredients. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-9 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
• After 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high, stir the soup and begin to mash the beans against the side of the slow cooker to thicken the soup. Once the soup is thickened to your liking, start adding salt to taste. Begin with 1/2 tsp and add more until the soup tastes flavorful to you. I used about 2 tsp total.
• Serve the soup hot with crackers or crusty bread for dipping.

SLOW-COOKER PEA AND HAM SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Slow cooker method: Preheat the slow cooker, if required. Sit the ham and bay leaf in the slow cooker and cover with 900ml (11⁄2 pints) of water. Cover and cook on auto/low for 8 hrs or on high for 4 hrs, then remove the ham and set aside. Discard the stock, or strain and reserve a little to add to the soup. Heat the oil in a large heavy-based pan over a medium heat, add the onion, and cook for 3-4 mins until soft. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the mustard, garlic, and herbs (reserve some thyme leaves for garnish). Add a little stock and bring to the boil, then tip in the peas (if you prefer them puréed, pulse them gently in a liquidizer or use a stick blender). Transfer to the slow cooker, add the remaining stock and the potatoes, cover, and cook on auto/low for 8 hrs or on high for 4 hrs. Remove any fat from the ham, chop into bite-sized pieces, and stir into the soup. Taste and season as needed. Garnish with the reserved thyme leaves and serve with wholemeal bread. OR Traditional method: Add the ham and bay leaf to a large pan, cover with 1.2 litres (2 pints) of water and bring to the boil. Partially cover, reduce to a simmer, and cook for about 1 hr or until the ham is cooked. Skim away any scum that comes to the surface of the pan as you go. Discard the stock, or strain and reserve a little to add to the soup. Set the ham aside until cool enough to handle. Heat the oil in a large heavy-based pan over a medium heat, add the onion, and cook for 3-4 mins until soft. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the mustard, garlic, and herbs (reserve some thyme leaves for garnish). Add a little stock and bring to the boil, then tip in the peas and remaining stock. Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 45 mins, topping up with hot water as needed. About 20 mins before the end of the cooking time, bring a separate pan of water to the boil. Add the potatoes, bring back up to the boil, and then simmer for 12-15 mins until soft. Drain and set aside. Remove the rosemary from the soup, then use a stick blender to gently purée the peas, or ladle them into a liquidizer and pulse a couple of times. Return them to the pan and stir in the potatoes. Remove any fat from the ham, chop into bite-sized pieces, and stir into the soup. Taste and season as needed. Garnish with the reserved thyme leaves and serve with wholemeal bread.
