This One Hour Ham and White Bean Soup is a hearty and delicious dish that tastes like it has cooked all day thanks to the secret ingredient, a bottle of beer!
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.

I love how brothy and gorgeous this soup is! When I think of a ham soup, I usually think of a pureed pea green version. This seems lighter and more elegant. Yum! And hooray for being in the cabin, too. Can't wait to see your new kitchen!
