This hearty soup made with ham hocks or a ham bone is easy and flavorful and always hits the spot with just a few ingredients! And the crockpot does all the work!

HAM & BEAN SOUP

1-2 smoked ham hocks and some diced ham chunks (if you don't like smoke as much, only use one ham hock.)
1 large diced potato
1 diced large carrot
1 medium onion diced
1 bag of dry great northern beans
Water
1 tbs Better Than Bouillon Ham Base
2 tsp thyme
1 tbs parsley
1 tbs Worcestershire Sauce
(celery, liquid smoke, mashed potatoes etc. optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Soak the beans over night in a large flat dish with water, covering all beans plus 1-2 inches of water on top. The beans will soak up that liquid to become re-hydrated.

Rinse beans and place in the crockpot.

Add water to fill to 3/4 full.

Add ham hocks and onion. Turn on high for one hour, then down to low for 4-5 hrs.

When ham hocks are tender, remove, debone and shred/dice and add back to the soup.

Add remaining ingredients and let go on slow another 1-2 hrs.

Serve up with a good crusty bread and butter!
