Składniki

1 pound dry Great Northern beans & Lima beans =1 1/2 cup great northern & 1 cup Lima beans

1/2-1 cup diced carrots

1/2 cup diced celery

1/4-1/2 cup diced onions

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

8 cups low-sodium chicken broth (see note)

1 leftover ham bone (see note)

Additional chopped ham, optional (see note)

Wskazówki

Add beans to slow cooker. Add room temperature water to cover by 2 inches. Let the beans soak overnight (8 to 12 hours).

Drain the beans and return to the slow cooker.

Add the chicken broth and vegetables and give the mixture a stir.

Nestle the ham bone into the soup. Cover and cook on low for 10 hours or on high for 6 hours until the beans are soft. If you're planning to add additional ham (really only necessary if the ham bone used wasn't super meaty), add it a couple hours before cooking time ends.

Remove ham bone to a plate or dish (and any large ham pieces that may have fallen off during cooking). Shred ham into small pieces and return to the slow cooker.

If desired, use a potato masher to lightly mash the beans in the soup for a creamier consistency.

Taste and season with salt, if needed. Serve immediately or keep warm until ready to serve. This soup gets thicker the longer it rests. The leftovers are super thick and creamy (in a deliciously good way).

Notatki

1/8/26 to make in IP: use 6 cups water or chicken broth, high pressure 45 minute with at least 10 minutes NR before QR.

I have adjusted this recipe using a mixture of beans as noted on the recipe. I did not saute the vegetables before adding them to the beans. I added 1 1/2 teaspoon salt using all chicken broth. I did not use any garlic or bay leaf.

My beans are old so I soaked them in 7 1/2 cups hot water with 2 tablespoons baking soda around 10 hours before draining them and rinsing them good.
