How to Make 1 Hour Ham And Bean Soup

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 cup chopped carrots, 1 cup chopped celery, and 1 medium onion, chopped. Sauté for about 4 minutes, until the onion begins to soften.
  3. Add 1 cup chopped cooked ham, and sauté for 2 minutes.
  4. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute more.
  5. Pour in 3 cups of chicken or ham stock. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. While the soup simmers, combine all but 1/2 cup of a (15-ounce) can of beans (including the liquid) and 1/2 cup of tomato sauce in a food processor.
  7. Process until completely smooth.
  8. Add 2 cups of additional stock to the food processor to thin the mixture to your desired consistency.
  9. Process again until well combined.
  10. Pour the pureed bean mixture into the soup pot with the ham and vegetables.
  11. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of canned beans. Stir to combine.
  12. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  13. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot and enjoy!
