How to Make 15 BEAN SOUP Recipe. Step-by-Step. is perfect for busy families. Comes together quickly with a few staple ingredients!
INGREDIENTS
1 (1 lb) bag regular 15 bean soup mix or (1 lb) bag cajun 15 bean soup mix 1 large onion, chopped 4 garlic cloves, minced 1 (15 -30 ounce) can whole tomatoes, crushed 3 stalks celery leaves, included chopped 2 -3 ham hocks or 1 ham bone, with meat still on it 1 tablespoon dried parsley 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (crush with fingertips before adding this releases the flavor) 1 teaspoon black pepper salt 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 chicken bouillon cubes
DIRECTIONS
Wash the beans; put in large pot and cover with water. Bring to boil; stir and remove from heat. Cover and let sit 1 hour. After that hour, drain beans and set aside. Add oil to pot. Saut your ham hocks, onion, and celery until tender. Next add garlic and saut 2 minutes more. Add your beans and cover with water (about 2 inches over top of beans). Add tomatoes with the juice, parsley, rosemary, black pepper, bouillon cubes, and about 1 teaspoon of salt to start with. Mix well. Bring to boil; stir, reduce heat cover and simmer for 2 to 21/2 hours or until all the sizes of the beans are tender. Keep watching it and stirring it every once in a while. You may need to add more water; you want it to keep a consistency a little thicker than a soup. Taste it after it cooks--you may need more salt or pepper. During the last 15 minutes of cooking, add the flavor package that comes with the beans. Serve by itself or over rice.
