One Hour Ham and White Bean Soup

 I love cooking with beer, it lends a great depth of flavor to recipes like my Beer Braised Pot Roast and Beer Battered Catfish Po Boys and this Ham and White Bean Soup!

Soup has become one of my favorite comfort foods and this is just a good solid soup recipe.  Simple and just what I needed on a blustery cold day.

It is perfect for using up leftover ham and goes together quickly for a great weeknight dinner.

How to Make Ham and White Bean Soup:

I diced up the vegetables and started them cooking with the garlic.  Added in the Petit Jean Meats Ham to brown it just a bit.  I added in the broth, beer and the beans and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.  I used Shiner Bock, my new favorite beer, just use whatever you have on hand.

About the time the soup was done simmering I had the thought that barley would also be great in this soup.  I will be trying that next time for sure. You could also add in some cooked rice to stretch this soup to feed a few more people. 

More Soup Recipes to Try:

Easy Stuffed Pepper Soup has become one of my all time favorites. It’s so flavorful and a quick and easy ground beef dinner. 

Easy Chicken Noodle Soup is a hearty soup that everyone loves. My kids ask for this on a weekly basis. I use homestyle noodles and it’s so delicious.

Tuscan Sausage and Potato Soup is quick, easy and incredibly delicious. It has a spicy kick from the sausage and you just won’t believe how amazing this soup turns out with just a few ingredients. 

Creamy Ham and Potato Soup is another great soup recipe for leftover ham. This is probably the soup I make the most often. It’s good any time of year. 

Serve this up with a pan of Skillet Cornbread or your favorite crusty bread for a comforting and delicious dinner!
