Equipment

Ingredients

  • 20 ounce package Hurst's® HamBeens® 15 Bean Soup®
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ cup diced onion
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 ½ cups peeled and diced carrot
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 ham bone 2 small ham hocks
  • 1 pound chopped cooked ham
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 8 cups reduced-sodium or no salt chicken broth
  • 14 ounce can diced tomatoes

Instructions

  • Rinse and sort beans. Set seasoning packet aside.
  • Press sauté.
  • When it reads "hot", add olive oil and then onion, celery, and carrot.
  • Cook, stirring regularly, until vegetables have softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, and cook, stirring the entire time, for 30 seconds.
  • Press cancel.
  • Add remaining ingredients except for tomatoes along with the seasoning packet.
  • Close and lock the lid. Press manual high pressure and adjust the cooking time to 60 minutes. Be sure that the pressure release valve is set to sealing.
  • When the cooking time has finished, carefully turn the pressure release valve to venting to release the pressure. You may need to do a controlled quick release.
  • Unlock the lid and remove the ham bone and bay leaves.
  • Stir in the diced tomatoes with juice.
  • Press sauté and let the soup come to a simmer, stirring the entire time.
  • Press cancel and give the soup a good stir.

Notes

  • Soup: The bean soup is a dry bean blend that's usually sold near dried beans. 
  • Onion: White or yellow onion works well in this recipe. 
  • Ham bone: If you don't have a ham bone or ham hock, you can substitute additional chopped leftover ham; however, the soup won't have the same rich flavor without the bone or ham hock.
  • Diced tomato: Feel free to use another type of diced tomato like fire roasted or diced tomato with garlic.
  • Nutritional values are estimates.
