Cheesy Ham and Bean Soup - A Krazy Original

Cheesy Ham and Bean Soup - A Krazy Original

Sometimes I just start throwing stuff together and hoping for good results, and once in awhile this results in a fantastic concoction. This is the case with this recipe, super easy, costs right around $25 (but there are always leftovers), and only requires 6 ingredients and a crockpot. I invited my mom to come and have dinner tonight because this is one of her favorite dishes that I make.

Ingredients

2 pounds of ham cubed
3 cans of campbells cheddar cheese soup
3 pounds of great northern beans or navy beans
Carrots (sliced thinly)
1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
A few garlic cloves
Black pepper to taste

I prefer precooked ham and then bake it for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit before cubing it. I also prefer beans that are precooked, but have used fresh beans, and soaked and sorted myself, it lengthens the cook/prep time quite a bit but works just as well. After cutting up all the ingredients you simply throw it in a crockpot, i cook on low for about 6 hours, stirring once an hour or so and serve with crackers or bread and butter. If you don't have a crockpot it can be cooked on an open flame, it just requires stirring more often because the soup is cheese based and will burn if not disturbed (stirred) frequently enough. I have added potatoes in the past but with the beans and ham the potatoes make it a bit too heavy for my taste, corn worked ok as an addition though.

Thanks for stopping by, if you do make this be sure to let me know how you enjoyed it.

All the love -
