Smoky and rich, the homemade soup comes together quickly on the stovetop, but can also be prepared in the slow cooker. Just get it simmering and your work is done!

As soon as the temperatures drop or life gets busy, I find myself craving the comforts of home and a warm bowl of soup for the soul! This Ham and Bean Soup is like the workhorse of the food world. It’s easy, it’s economical, it’s nutritious, and it can be prepared in advance and kept on hand for busy days. Plus, the leftovers are even better!"
