Slow cooker ham and bean soup with canned beans is just the easiest of it all because the bean is already cooked, though I like the Hurst’s bean HamBeens popularly known as 15 Bean soup mix. The flavor is nice after cooking most grocery stores have it on their dry beans section or order online; on the other hand, navy beans or white bean can equally make good beans and ham soup.
Basically, there are different methods of cooking this mouth watery dish of protein and fiber pack-load with vegetables a hearty meal. It can also be cooked using the crockpot or on the stovetop.
What Happen if No Leftover Ham Bone?

Get a fresh order or go to a grocery store near you and buy, make a fresh pot of ham with enough Broth that will be used to cook your beans.
