Ingredients
Scale
- 8 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 package Hurst’s® HamBeens® 15 Bean Soup® (with seasoning packet)
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 15 ounces diced tomatoes (1 can)
- 1 leftover ham bone with meat (or ham hocks, diced ham, or 1 lb. cooked sausage)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
- Hot sauce or crushed red pepper to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse and drain the beans. Remove any debris and set the seasoning packet aside.
- In a 6-quart crockpot, combine the beans, chicken broth, ham bone (or alternative), onion, garlic, and chili powder (if using). Do not add the lemon juice or diced tomatoes yet.
- Set the crockpot to high and cook for 5 hours, or on low for 7-8 hours, until the beans are tender.
- Once the beans are soft, remove the ham bone (if using). Chop any meat from the bone and return it to the crockpot. Stir in the diced tomatoes, seasoning packet, and lemon juice.
- Cook for an additional 30 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt, black pepper, and optional hot sauce or crushed red pepper to taste.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
