Having ham makes me think about black bean soup. No winter would be complete without black bean soup. This time I wanted to do my stand by recipe in the crock pot.
SMOKEY BLACK BEAN SOUP
2 cups dried black beans
8 cups water or broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup sherry
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons Worcestershire
2 bay leaves
4 slices bacon, crisped and crumbled
2 carrots, chopped
2 onions coarsely chopped
2 cups ham, small cubes
Add all ingredients to the crockpot except for the ham. Cook on low for about 6 to 8 hours. Puree soup and add in ham before serving, along with a dollop of sour cream.
I have a new found love of black beans and am thinking this sounds delish! Even better it's made in the crock pot.

ReplyDeleteI love a good black bean soup in the winter. I never thought of doing a ham in the crock pot, good idea
ReplyDeleteThis soup will be a good option to make during these cold days. I really like the idea of adding sherry to it. We love black beans cook overnight in the crock pot.
ReplyDeleteShame on me, I have never had black bean soup. But this sounds soooo good and I'm in such a serious soup mood these days that I am saving this. Sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHow simple but tasty. Sans bacon, I'm absolutely making this one, asap!
ReplyDeleteThe crock-pot is my favorite way to make soups. Your black bean soup sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteI think every flavor of the ingredients have melted in the soup after those hours of slow cooking. The soup sounds distinctive with the add of ham.
ReplyDeleteThis looks yummy. I'll try it without the bacon. I'm a vegetarian and it can be hard to find meatless slow cooker recipes. I am posting my recipes on my blog http://healthyslowcooking.wordpress.com. You might fine some that interest you.
