15 Bean Soup and Green Chile Corn Bread Recipes

15 Bean Soup

1 sweet onion
4 stocks celery
1/2 bag baby carrots or 3-4 large
Ham Steak or chub of boneless cured ham
Ham hock
Bag 15 bean soup mix
Cilantro
2 bay leaves


Soak beans over night or follow instructions on the bag for quick soak.
Chop onions, celery, carrots and ham to similar cubes. In a sauté pan with a little olive oil, sauté all until the carrots are a bit soft. Chop 1/2 the cilantro bunch, stems are ok. Add everything including your rinsed beans into a crock pot and cover to the top with water. Add pepper to taste. Be very conservative with salt as the ham hock adds a lot. Cook on low 8 hrs. Before serving add the ham flavor packet.
Garnish with extra cilantro, cheese, sour cream or fresh cracked pepper.
