Baby, it’s cold outside, but this crock pot 15 bean soup recipe will warm you right up!
15 Bean Soup Recipe
This is some magical ham and bean soup, but I can’t take any credit whatsoever for the recipe.
I followed the directions right on the back of a bag of Hurst’s HamBeens 15 Bean Soup!
It’s a really wonderful recipe that makes the perfect hearty crock pot 15 bean soup. Throw in a couple ham hocks and you’re in bean soup heaven. If you haven’t tried this brand of 15 bean soup, you must. Their seasoning packet is amazing.
In fact, if you want to spice things up a bit, you don’t want to miss my cajun 15 bean soup recipe!
If you’re going to make this crock pot 15 bean soup I absolutely insist that you fix up a pan of my easy buttermilk cornbread to go along with it. It’s a no-fail cornbread recipe that I’ve made a hundred times.
Ham and bean soup just isn’t ham and bean soup without a buttery hunk of cornbread dunked in it. Trust me, it matters. This cornbread also goes amazingly well with my crock pot chicken noodle soup.
This is such a simple family meal and one that’s actually quite fun for the kids to eat. They love poking around in their bowl inspecting the different varieties of beans. They were convinced that they counted well over 15 types of beans in their bowl, for the record!
There was a time in my life when I wasn’t a huge fan of beans, but now I absolutely crave warm, filling soup recipes like this crock pot 15 bean soup.
I also love making soups like this because we can enjoy leftovers for a couple days which takes the pressure off of me to come up with something to cook. That’s a total win for this busy working mom on those chaotic school nights. In fact, if you’re a soup fan, don’t miss my amazing Instant Pot Chicken Taco Soup recipe, and our comforting Instant Pot White Bean Soup.
If you’re looking for an old-fashioned classic, don’t forget about my papaw’s best navy bean soup.
I’ve also got a crock pot ham and beans recipe you’ll adore!
This is a wonderful belly-warming recipe that will remind you of those simple, filling soups from your childhood. I think you’re going to love it. Also, don’t miss our tutorial video below to see how this tasty recipe comes together.

What size is an individual serving? Would it still be 1/2 cup like the bag indicates?

My husband and son love pinto beans, but i am not a fan sinyi grew up on them. I learned to make them spicy and they are ok, but not mypreferred meal. I saw The 15 bean soup on FB and decided to try the Cajun style. My husband commented that he wasn’t sure if he would like them since they contained black eye peas. I used a smoked turkey leg, andouille sausage and Rotel tomatoes and the guys loved them so much that I am making them again 3 weeks later.

Ok. I don’t have a ham bone. Can I use a ham steak instead. Or do i need to use a ham bone for the flavor

I use this same recipe! One thing I do differently I guess is save a hambone from a ham and I will cook that down first if I have one. Now that makes a difference too! You really get that deep ham flavor. Yours looks delicious and I agree about the cornbread too.
