Smoked Ham Bone Soup

[@bozmerz4358]

Your Ham & Bean soup looks great. A husband that loves to cook is a blessing!

[@michaelsklenka4452]

Soup looks great. I never thought of cooking the ham bones first. Will try it next week. Thanks for the great video.

[@SmokingBBQ]

Thank you Michael, I appreciate your comment. I am sure you will love the recipe, thanks for stopping by!

My mom used to make delicious white beans soup with pork and I missed it very much. Yours look so delicious and cook slowly to get all the nutrients from the ham bones. I love it.

[@SmokingBBQ]

Thanks for the nice comment, and thanks for watching!

Looks delicious!!

[@scotsmanofnewengland7713]

Thanks for making me hungry for this recipe. I use Liquid Smoke when I make my shredded smoked pulled pork and thinking of adding a tablespoon to your recipe. Thanks again

[@SmokingBBQ]

Glad you enjoyed the recipe!

I'm making ham & bean soup for christmas eve when the very small family members I do have left stops by. Only thing is, I'm using smoked shanks. I used a couple today in ham, green beans and potatoes and they were awesome. I did get a country ham for christmas dinner, but have had ongoing health issues and will have to postpone my dinner. I'll definitely be saving the bone and any scraps I get off it to make broths. Your soup looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing such wonderful recipes and great tips. As good a cook I "think" I am, I'm always learning new tips from all you youtube chefs:^) You guys are wonderful.

[@SmokingBBQ]

Nothing wrong with using smoked shanks, they offer delicious flavor just like a ham bone. I appreciate you stopping by and your comment. Wishing you a Merry Christmas, and good luck with your smoked ham bone soup!

[@patricecooper8419]

You've given me a great idea...I have chicken stock to my hambone, and some water to start the tenderizing process for me to make a pot of navy bean soup!! Great job Sir! You've done very well!! Plus, that beer seems kinda interesting!

[@SmokingBBQ]

Thanks for you comment Patrice, I appreciate you stopping by!

[@tonyameadows9042]

Looks delicious. Great paired with corn muffins. Thanks for making this video. :)

[@denisecooper5132]

Man I tell you-you need to invite me to your house to eat with you because your smoked ham can REALLY BOOST UP A GREAT BEAN SOUP!! Great idea every time. All the videos we watch having to do with different ways to cook beans, whether great northerns or navy beans are MMM,MMM GOOD!

[@spud1ism]

Love this soup! My mom made it, and I did too. I just don't add potatoes. Great video. Your little boy is so cute. Thank you!

[@SmokingBBQ]

Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it!

[@bartlett454]

Great recipe, mate. Just want to add that smoked turkey legs work just as well as a substitute for the ham bone if you don't have one. Now, I love ham myself but I have an uncle who is Muslim and, therefore, doesn't eat pork but the smoked turkey leg does the job, brilliantly. Smoky, salty, and meaty. Same for French Canadian split-pea soup. Any cook will tell you that it is the bones that gives soups and stews their deep; rich flavour. Yum! I also like to add a dash of turmeric (for the health benefits as well as colour) or curry powder... Mmmm baby, it is hearty good stuff for the autumn and winter months! Give me some crusty French bread and a good local IPA or cider and it is the perfect dinner, in my opinion.

[@SmokingBBQ]

Thanks for the comment and the suggestion about the smoked turkey leg, an excellent alternative. I also agree it is a perfect dinner, especially when it is cold outside and snowing. Thanks for stopping by!

Smo'King BBQ Tips & Recipes I will let you know! I simmered the ham bone all night and soaked the beans! I’m following this video step by step lol I’m hoping to freeze the leftovers!

[@r.mcbride2837]

Nice video! It just so happens, my beans are almost finished soaking and our New Year's ham bone is on the stove, simmering, as I type, so I sat down to take a break and saw your video. Your recipe is very similar to mine, but I don't add potatoes and I cook it all on the stove top. Yours looks scrumptious! This is a huge favorite in our family. Even when we're eating New Year's Day dinner, the boys are asking me when I'm going to make "the soup"! They could smell it getting off the school bus today! I could hear them screaming, "SOOOOOOUP NIGHT!!!!" all the way to the house. Haha! The UPS and FedEx guys both said you can smell the soup all the way up the drive and onto the highway and said they plan to come back at dinner time!! 😄

[@SmokingBBQ]

Thanks for the nice reply! One of the biggest benefits of cooking this is definitely having the whole house smell so wonderful. I appreciate you taking the time to leave your comment, thanks for watching!

[@kanyakornbrewer260]

Like your Video !!! Thank you :) Its look delicious ....i will make it soon !!!!

[@SmokingBBQ]

Glad you enjoyed it. Please come back and tell me how it turned out after you make it. Thanks for stopping by!

[@jojofixer]

I do store bought smoked ham hocks overnight on low for beans. Every bit of goodness comes off for flavor and the bones are clean.

Now that bean soup looks yummy. You make it almost the same as my mom. It helped watching yours because my mom has passed and I only remember parts of her recipe. Thank you for sharing. ❤👍

[@SmokingBBQ]

I hope it taste just like your Moms recipe. Thanks for stopping by!

[@mariahc6888]

@@SmokingBBQ I'm making it tomorrow. I will let you know how it comes out.😊 you are very welcome dear.

[@mariahc6888]

@@SmokingBBQ Hey there, I finished the soup this morning, only thing, I did different was I cooked my beans for a hour. After soaking them all night. I left it on the stove for 1 hr. Then I rinsed and put beans in the crock pot. Everything else I did exactly like yours. The reason I rinsed the beans is I wanted a thinner soup. Let me tell you, it's the best bean soup I've ever had. Even my husband tried it and he doesn't like bean soup. He said it was the best and couldn't wait to eat it. I don't wanta say it's better than my moms. But even my mom would say it's better than hers... Thank you so much for the recipe. ♡ I look forward to watching your other recipes. ❤ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🏆

Making it right now and subbed I’m having a yards ipa and this won’t be ready until tomorrow so for this evening I got a couple of 1” porter houses that my wife son and I will be enjoying. So yes I have amazing smelling hambone in the crock and a cast iron pan ready for the steaks, wonder what could smell better?!

Smo'King BBQ Tips & Recipes thanks

[@johnxjen]

After you've added all the ingredients except the ham at this point, when you say "simmer" do you mean on low or high for a few hours? I am following this recipe right now, have had the ham bone, chicken stock, 4 cups of water on high for two hours, scaled back to low for now. BTW, loved your part about the beer, we are very similar with this.

[@SmokingBBQ]

Usually I need to put the slow cooker on high to get it simmering, then I dial it back to low or simmer. I hope you are impressed with the soup. Please let me know how it turns out.

[@deetremonti5161]

I would like a link to your crockpot or slow cooker if you don’t mind.

[@SmokingBBQ]

It was a giant KitchenAid Slow Cooker than unfortunately they no longer make. The one in the video cracked after many years, and I discovered I could not buy another one. Shame, as it was an excellent cooker.

[@marksmer1]

Hello. Do you think adding some canned corn would be a good idea?

[@SmokingBBQ]

Sure, add some corn if you like. Always good to experiment and add different things, I am sure corn would be good in this soup. Thanks for stopping by!

[@joeo7257]

The Honey Baked Ham store will sell you just the bone with some meat on it. That looks wonderful!

[@SmokingBBQ]

Great suggestion Joe! Thanks for stopping by!

[@tylerkrug7719]

Do you not put the meat pieces from the ham bone back in after they have been removed? Why do they get removed? Thanks in advance

[@SmokingBBQ]

Later in the video I put in several cups of cubed Ham into the soup. I removed the Ham from the bone and cubed them up. You need to remove the bone otherwise you will not have enough room in your slow cooker for all the ingredients. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for stopping by!

[@vin-r5384]

Can you put a frozen ham bone in the crockpot?

[@SmokingBBQ]

Sure. Just put some liquid in and let it heat up. A bone is only providing flavor for the soup, no need to be concerned with the temperature of the bone, as you are not eating that.

[@charliebrown2828]

Absolutely!

[@drwgisblaidd2650]

I will take longer for the cooker to come up to temp though.

[@sherryy1743]

You can also buy smoked ham hocks or smoked turkey drumsticks at the grocery store. Either one works great in the soup. Your soup LOOKS GREAT!!!

[@SmokingBBQ]

Great idea! Thanks for stopping by!

[@BADD1ONE]

If you can you want to smoke the ham yourself.

[@curtnicholson7771]

You wouldn't believe how great your soup looks now but it would be even better if you would have dumped one or two beers in your soup and cooked for a day. I put beer in almost all of the homage soups that I make and it really zips up the flavor just a little bit. Try it sometime and you may or may not like it but then you will see what I mean by the flavor it adds. But Believe me when I say that yours looks delicious and you have my mouth watering for a bowl of it now with some fresh corn bread to go with. Thanks and you and your family have a great holiday.

[@SmokingBBQ]

I have never added beer to soup, but always due with my chili. Will try that next time, thanks for the suggestion!

[@tonivanderpool1934]

Why didn't you leave the bones the entire cooking time ? That's supposed to be the important part ?.thanks.

[@SmokingBBQ]

I let the bone simmer in the slow cooker overnight, which is more than enough time for the broth to take on the flavor from the bone. I removed it so the rest of the ingredients would fit in the slow cooker. Thanks for stopping by!

[@drwgisblaidd2650]

After simmering all night, all the flavor would be out of the bone, and in the broth, all it would do now is take up space.

Slow cookers are the most inefficiant useless cookers. No insulation. It is like having your toaster on all night. Use an instant pot.
