Ingredients in Instant Pot Bean

Soup BEANS Of course, this recipe starts with beans. Hurst’s HamBeens 15 bean soup is a holiday staple and can be cooked on the stove or as a recipe for slow-cooker ham and bean® soup®. A cozy bowl of bean soup is a favorite way to use our Christmas ham and start our New Year!

You can find these beans in the dried bean section

of almost any grocery store (or you can order them online) and they include a variety including black beans, kidney, chickpeas, split peas, white beans, pinto beans, baby limes, and more.

A packet of seasonings is included in each pack of 15 bean soups, making it simple and perfectly seasoned every time!

Onions, Celery and carrots are the perfect start to this soup and add a great base of flavor. This soup is great for adding, mixing green beans, leftover vegetables or even pumpkin!

A

leftover ham bone adds an extra smoky salty flavor to this soup and, once cooked, you can pick up the meat from the bone and add it to the soup. If you don’t have a ham bone, you can add any leftover meat (along with tomatoes) or even smoked sausage.

Add

• some chopped garlic or your favorite seasonings. If fresh herbs are added, they should be added just before serving (except rosemary, it takes a little time to cook).
• Kale or fresh spinach can be added (along with almost any vegetable).

We use chicken broth

• and some water, but you can use meat or vegetable broth if you wish.

Tips for making ham and bean soup

• If you don’t have a leftover ham bone, a ham hock from the grocery store or your local butcher will work perfectly. Look for one with a little meat, so you can add it to the soup once it’s cooked.

Chicken broth

• or turkey broth adds great flavor. If you prefer more liquid in your soup, add a couple of extra cups of broth to the instant pot.
• When cooking beans, always add acidic ingredients like tomatoes or lemon juice after the beans are cooked well. The acid binds to the outside of the bean and makes it difficult for water to impregnate them for cooking.
• To thicken the bean soup, let it simmer uncovered in “sautéed” or give it a couple of quick pulses with an immersion blender.

What to serve with ham and bean soup

If you want to add some toppings, we love adding a tablespoon of sour cream, cilantro, cheddar cheese, or crispy bacon!

This instant ham and bean soup is a stick to rib meal. We enjoyed a good fresh salad on the side, and of course, cornbread is a must to absorb the leftover soup in the bowl.

Can you freeze bean soup

? Beans resist freezing well, making them the perfect frozen food for the cold winter months. Once cooled, transfer the soup to individual freezer bags or containers and freeze for up to 6 months.

To thaw, simply add the soup to a saucepan over medium-low heat until heated.
