Slow Cooker Recipe
Bean and Ham Soup
If you don’t generally cook with dry beans, but are curious about it, this is a recipe to try. Dry beans cooked from scratch bring flavors to your dish that simply can’t be gotten from canned beans. It requires a bit of planning since you will need to allow time for the beans to soak, but we think it’s worth it.
This is a very good recipe to prep the night before. You can chop the vegetables and mix the other ingredients so that there is less work in the morning.
