Ham and Bean Soup

This hearty ham and bean soup is perfect for a cold winter day. Guaranteed to warm you up!

I love making soup this time of year. On a cold day it’s so nice to come home to soup cooking. This is great to make if you have some leftover ham you were cooking over the holidays.

You can make this soup your own. This recipe is just a starting point. Feel free to add any veggies you like or spices to give it a unique taste that suits you. This is great to feed a crowd. The recipe can easily be doubled. Ham and bean soup is also kid friendly if your kids are ok with beans. This boasts lots of flavor!
