Slow Cooker Ham & White Bean Soup
Tender, white beans, ham, and veggies, cooked in a rich broth with herbs make a soup that's hearty and satisfying. It's a great, no-stress meal on its own, especially when the slow cooker does all the work for you! This is how to stretch your food budget without sacrificing taste!
Prep Time
10minutes mins
Cook Time
6hours hrs
Course: SoupCuisine: American Servings: 8 Calories: 173kcal Author: Donya Mullins
Equipment
Slow Cooker
Ingredients
1 bag dried great Northern beans or white navy beans I use Goya brand
2 cups chopped ham (leftover or deli sliced)
4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 cups water
1 medium yellow onion - chopped
2 carrots - chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons kosher salt
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
2 cloves garlic - grated I use a microplane
Instructions
Place beans, ham, stock and water in crockpot.
Heat olive oil in a small skillet. Add onions, carrots, garlic and cook until tender. Add salt, pepper and thyme. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Add all ingredients to crock pot. Place lid on and set to cook on LOW/7-8 HOURS, or on HIGH/6 HOURS.
When done, I like to serve with a dollop of sour cream and hot sauce.
Notes
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Reheat the soup on the stovetop until it is warmed through.
This soup makes a terrific make-ahead freezer meal. Store the soup in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge, reheat in the Crock Pot or on the stove top then serve.
You can thicken the soup by mashing some of the beans and carrots with a potato masher for a creamy texture. You can also remove about a cup of the ingredients, blend with an immersion blender, and then stir back into the soup to add thickness.

Well...poof went the morning!! Figured I had better get the outsidework done before it gets too hot. Then in to make pastry and do laundry now to have a cuppa tea and then see what I can get into. Time was spent watching the crows, their numbers up to 8 now with their babies. Then I found a whole new dog hiding in Jesse's coat, hair is now on the lawn for the birds to pick at.
Patricia, no she didn't say...but she does miss everyone. Cooper is keeping her company.
Rick,tis the humidty that knocks one off their feet. I will do outside work for a while then take a break and head back out again. Funny thing is the lawn/grass has gone dormant but the weeds are green and growing!!
Enjoy your day and stay safe.
