Busy days and cold nights require a touching Crockpot Italian bean soup!
This soup is packed with our favorite Italian flavors, sausages, vegetables, and of course, the perfect bean mix in a spicy tomato broth. The best part is how easy this soup is without soaking!
I’m excited to partner with HamBeens® of Hurst to bring them this delicious recipe!
Bean soup is a type of hearty food to warm the belly. It’s a delicious and nutritious meal that can feel good about serving your family.
Ingredients
A Crockpot makes this recipe as easy as possible and there is no need to pre-soak the
beans.
15 HamBeens Bean Soup Mix from Hurst HamBeens Bean Soup is truly one of my favorite pantry staples and the basis® of this soup® recipe. All colors of the bean rainbow are included in this blend of dried beans, peas, and lentils.
Each packet of
beans comes with a packet of ham flavor that adds another layer of deliciousness. You can find HamBeens 15 Bean Soup in the dried bean section of almost any grocery store (or you can order them online).
SACHICHA Italian sausage adds great flavor to this recipe, use hot or soft (we prefer hot). If you don’t have sausages, you can substitute ground beef for beef, but be sure to add some extra seasonings like Italian seasoning.
VEGGIES Once the beans are tender, add some tomatoes and marinara to add some zest to the broth.
Sliced zucchini adds freshness to this soup. If you like zucchini to be softer, you can add it a little earlier.
