Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package 15-bean soup mix
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 1 ham bone with some meat
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • ½ stalk celery, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 cups chopped ham
  • 2 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring
  • 1 ½ tablespoons ground mustard powder
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1
Place bean mix into a large bowl and cover with several inches of water; soak for at least 24 hours. Drain completely.

Step 2
Bring chicken stock to a boil in a pot large enough to hold the beans and, eventually, the ham bone. When boiling, add soaked beans. Reduce the heat and simmer until tender, about 1 hour.

Step 3
Return stock and beans to a boil. Add ham bone, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and bay leaves. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until vegetables are soft, about 1 hour. Add chopped ham, liquid smoke, and mustard powder. Stir and let simmer until flavors blend, about 30 more minutes.

Step 4
Remove ham bone from the soup. Season with salt and pepper before serving.
