Leftover Ham Soup Recipes In Crock Pot

I really love leftovers ... for this very reason. You have so many choices for using them up in the days following your special event.

My ham usually has a bone, which has even more benefits due to its ability to create savory, flavorful broth. This is perfect for flavoring your favorite soup, casserole, or pasta dish.

This particular crockpot bean soup is loaded with chunks of ham along with white beans, carrots, and celery. All of these make for a perfectly creamy bean soup that's so easy to put together and forget until its done.

Slow Cooker Ham And Potato Soup • Salt & Lavender

Using only a handful of ingredients, your ham and bean crockpot soup will spend its time cooking in the crock pot all day while you go about your business.

I like to soak my beans for at least 8 hours, but preferably 24 hours for best digestibility. I actually don't rinse them until after soaking, but you can rinse before and after if you wish.

This soup is best with leftover ham, and if you have some gelatinous broth to add to the soup the flavor will be boosted. If not, you can just add more water or some chicken or beef broth.

Slow Cooker Leftover Ham & Shredded Potato Soup

I used ham that was left over from our Christmas dinner, so I had a ham bone and some ham broth at the bottom of the pan.

Don't add salt to this soup, as you may have enough salt with the ham and broth. If you need more salt once the beans are done, you can always add it at the end.

Once the beans have soaked, you will add everything except the ham chunks to the crock pot and turn on high. If you need to cook the soup slower, you can cook on low.

Ham Bone Soup

Once the beans are done after about 6 hours on high, you can remove the bone and add the ham chunks. Let the whole pot heat up again before serving.

Can also freeze any leftovers for up to six months in a freezer-safe container. Reheat in a large pot on low or in your slow cooker on low.

Ham And Bean Soup (crockpot Version)

It’s soup weather, which means we’re having soup at least once a week. My kids love it, it’s easy to make and so many soups are a complete meal in one pot. This slow cooker ham and bean soup is on regular rotation at my house, and it’s also a great way to use up leftover ham.

This recipe starts with a bag of dried beans. I use a bag of bean soup mix which comes with a bunch of different varieties of beans and peas mixed together. You can also use a bag of white beans if you prefer. The beans go into the crock pot, along with some veggies, diced ham and seasonings. The soup cooks for at least 4 hours on high, or 8 hours on low. At this point, more seasonings get added to the soup, then let it simmer for another 20 minutes before eating. Add a sprinkle of parsley and enjoy!

Many recipes call for soaking dried beans in water overnight. This can help your beans cook faster, but we’re using a slow cooker here so we’re not really concerned about speeding up the cooking process. In addition, in order to soak your beans, you need to plan way in advance so that the beans can soak for hours. For this recipe, just give your beans a quick rinse in a colander and pour them into the crock pot.

What are you making for Christmas this year? I’ve decided to make Cioppino, which is a crab and seafood stew, as well as a ham. Normally I’d just do one main course but 2/3 of my kids are not into seafood! One of my favorite ways to use up leftover ham is this hearty slow cookerham bone soup. Putting the ham bone in the soup adds SO muchflavor and really makes this recipe something special.

The crock pot does all the work for this soup! You’ll need a bag of mixed dried beans, some basic veggies like carrots and onions and of course your ham. I remove the meat from the bone and cube it to stir into the soup, then place the bone in the slow cooker to simmer away with the rest of the ingredients. I use a 15 bean soup, it comes with the dried beans and a little flavoring packet.

Creamy Ham Potato Soup

You don’t need to soak your beans for this soup, but you will need to rinse them. You may wonder why all the seasonings get added at the end of the cooking time. Salt can affect beans while they’re cooking by making them tough, which is why the seasoning goes in after the beans are already cooked.
