Yummy soup. I cook this a lot. I like to serve it with fried chicken and cornbread.

SERVES 10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (1 lb) bag of regular 15 bean soup mix or cajun 15 bean soup mix
1 large onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 (15-30 ounce) can whole tomatoes, crushed
3 stalks celery leaves, included chopped
2-3 ham hocks, with meat still on it or 1 ham bone, with meat still on it
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried rosemary (crush with fingertips before adding this releases the flavor)
1 teaspoon black pepper
salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 chicken bouillon cubes

Directions

1
Wash the beans; put in large pot and cover with water. Bring to boil; stir and remove from heat. Cover and let sit 1 hour. After that hour, drain beans and set aside.
2
Add oil to pot. Sauté your ham hocks, onion, and celery until tender.
3
Next add garlic and sauté 2 minutes more.
4
Add your beans and cover with water (about 2 inches over top of beans).
5
Add tomatoes with the juice, parsley, rosemary, black pepper, bouillon cubes, and about 1 teaspoon of salt to start with.
6
Mix well. Bring to boil; stir, reduce heat cover and simmer for 2 to 21/2 hours or until all the sizes of the beans are tender.
7
Keep watching it and stirring it every once in a while. You may need to add more water; you want it to keep a consistency a little thicker than a soup.
8
Taste it after it cooks--you may need more salt or pepper.
9
During the last 15 minutes of cooking, add the flavor package that comes with the beans.
10
Serve by itself or over rice.

AMAZING!!!!! I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed it!!! I used the cajun flavored package, and hamhocks. I will not use hamhocks next time, I think it will be just as good without them!!!

Great Recipe! Used 3 chicken bouillon cubes, added 3 bay leaves and used two cans of diced tomatoes. Didnt have celery so added carrots instead. Used minced garlic and pepper for seasoning. No additional salt was needed due to the bouillon cubes. Also had my butcher cut the ham hock in three pieces so it was easier to sautee.

I love this recipe! However, I would like to point out that it tastes wonderful (and is better for you; no saturated fats) by taking out the meat, and highly recommend it. The flavoring packet is perfectly fine to use and for those of us who are Vegetarians, it is Vegan friendly. It tastes as if you are eating meat...what gives it the best flavor is NOT the meat, but the wonderful vegetables, tomatoes, beans, onions and seasonings. Many of the reviewers are attributing it's wonderful flavor to the meat, but had they tried it without, they would know they're giving credit to the wrong source. For the renaissance festival, I buy a round sourdough bread, take a knife, and cut a circle around the bottom to scoop out the innards and form a bowl, into which the bean soup is poured into. Then I top it off with chives and cheddar cheese. My family has asked to eat it again and again, and the leftovers are always gone the next day.

This is a very hearty, thick, comforting soup. I used ham hocks and I think sauteing them was the key to more flavor here. We liked the addition of tomatoes too. Nicely seasoned, and very easy to make. I was very happy with the way this turned out. Very good!!
