SLOW COOKER 15 BEAN SOUP RECIPES

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.

Steps:

• No soak required! (If you do soak, reduce water by 1 cup for the recipe)
• Rinse and sort through the beans, check for any unwanted debris and discard.
• Add rinsed beans, onion, pepper, celery, garlic, chicken stock, water, and Hurst’s Cajun seasoning packet into a 4-6 quart slow cooker. (NO TOMATOES or SAUSAGE YET.)
• 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.
• Check beans for doneness. If tender, add sausage and tomatoes.
• Cook for at least an additional 30-45 minutes, keep warm until ready to serve.**
• Serve with long grain rice or some fresh baked corn bread… enjoy!
