Ham White Bean And Collard Greens Soup Crock Pot Recipes

COLLARD GREEN SOUP WITH HAM AND BEANS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large stock pot or dutch oven of medium-high heat. Add the onion and ham and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute.
• Add the broth and collard greens, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Stir in the beans and tomatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until the collards are cooked to your desired tenderness. Serve with piping hot cornbread.

HAM AND BEAN SOUP WITH COLLARD GREENS

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons oil or bacon fat. Add ham and cook until beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer ham to a bowl.
• Raise heat to medium-high and add remaining 2 tablespoons oil or fat to the pan. Add onion, celery, jalapeño peppers, bell pepper, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon salt and the black pepper; cook until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently. (Add a little water, if necessary, to prevent burning on the bottom of the pot.) Stir in garlic and cook another 2 minutes.
• Add stock, beans, collard greens, reserved ham and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, party cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add parsley, vinegar and more salt to taste. Serve topped with hot sauce and sour cream if you like.

HAM, WHITE BEAN, AND COLLARD GREENS SOUP (CROCK POT)

Steps:

• Place smoked ham shank in crock pot.
• Open can of beans and rinse thoroughly. Place beans in a large bowl.
• Combine all of the ingredients with the beans (except for salt and pepper) and mix thoroughly. Pour over ham shank.
• Cover and cook on low for 7 - 8 hours. Remove ham shank from crock. Discard skin, fat and bone. Chop up remaining ham and put back into the crock. Add salt and pepper to taste and adjust any seasoning (more thyme, tobasco, paprika, etc). After adjusting I like to finish off by putting the cover back on and cooking for an additional 30 min on high just to let the adjusted flavor meld together. Remove bay leaves and discard. Portion into four bowls.
• I had a multigrain baguette that I cut into slices. I smeared each slice with a thin layer of goat cheese and we ate that with it. But I bet cornbread would be equally delicious.
