15 bean soup now, please

No recipe, but a ham bone or ham hocks will make all the difference.

Loosely follow the instructions to make it your own. Add a hambone like Darla said if you have one.

And if the directions don’t say to add a can of Rotel, do it anyway. And have some Better than Bouillon on hand like ham base, or roasted onion base or garlic base. You get the idea.

Right. I'd probably do a mirepoix and add some sort of tomatoes like a can of rotel or diced tomatoes as well

And probably use chicken stock for the broth base

But there are endless permutations that will all result in a delicious soup

And I'll second the cornbread recommendation above as well

I've made variations of these multiple bean soups and they come with a flavor packet inside.

Careful to not add ANY more salt until you taste test it when done as those packets are salt heavy.


Just a bit of a heads-uo.

Found my old post on this soup.
I made the Hurst's 15 bean Hambeen soup over the weekend in the crockpot. I'm feeling puny, so it was a good shortcut and turned out very well. I will make it again.

I put in 3 smoked ham hocks that I had, washed and sorted the beans and then dumped them in (no soak). Added a 2 lb bag of frozen Pic Sweet chopped veggies which were onion, celery, red and green bell pepper and parsley. I was surprised at the quality. I haven't used frozen chopped veggies in many years if ever.

I added two 1/2 32 oz boxes of Kitchen Basics chicken stock rather than water. Then, I thick slicked and quartered a lb of smoked sausage that I added.

Cooked on low for 6 hours. Was done before then, though. Added a can of petite diced tomatoes per the recipe on the bag, half of the seasoning bag for the Cajun bean soup (wasn't sure if it might be too spicy for some of the folks who would be eating it and I couldn't taste it so much because of cold). Added some Nature's Seasoning to it and let it go a little longer.

Everyone really liked it. I'll make it again when I can taste it more, but it sure looked good and what I could taste was good. I liked the bean selection, too.

Thanks for posting this. I did not know such a thing existed. Made the Cajun version over the weekend and just added some ham chunks and Rotel and used the entire seasoning pack. Quite delicious.
