The weathers been cold, wet and windy in Washington the last few weeks.. My cold bones have been aching for warming comfort foods. This definitely hits the spot.





I made Chipotle Ham and Bean Soup in the Crock Pot before heading to church Sunday morning. I needed something easy and worry free.. I knew we had a large windstorm on the way, I am just thankful we didn't lose power.





There's nothing I love more then a satisfying Ham and Bean Soup at the end of a cold, wet and windy day, other than maybe a hot bath and a slice of Caramel Dutch Apple Pie





If I can have all 3 I am one happy Momma!





Crock Pot Chipotle Ham and Bean Soup is a great use for leftover ham from the holidays but also an inexpensive soup made with a good quality smoked ham hock. I tried to keep this recipe simple and inexpensive because I understand so many families are on tight budgets but love flavorful and filling recipes. The chipotle pepper adds a little heat and extra smokiness to the soup.





I freeze the extra chipotle peppers and adobo sauce individually in small plastic bags for later, since I seldom use more then 1 or 2 peppers at a time.





A few more favorite chipotle dishes are Chipotle Chicken Sweet Potato Chili and Chipotle Black Beans . Incase you need a few ideas on what to make with your left over chipotle peppers. Both are delicious and healthy meals.





Here's how to make my favorite Ham and Bean Soup Recipe.





Sort 1 pound Dry Great Northern or Small White Beans to remove pebbles, shriveled or broken beans.





Soaked beans covered with at least 2" of water.





To a Crock Pot add:

Soaked Beans

3 pounds Meaty Ham Bone or Smoked Ham Hock

1 whole Medium Onion, Chopped

4 ribs Celery, Chopped

5 whole Carrots, Chopped

5 cloves Minced Garlic

1 whole Chipotle Pepper In Adobo Sauce, Chopped (Feel Free to add more if you want a spicier soup.)

1 tablespoon Adobo Sauce from Chipotle Peppers or more for spicier soup

1 teaspoon Thyme

1 teaspoon Rosemary

1 teaspoon Granulated Garlic

2 cups Chicken Stock

4 cups Water

Salt and Pepper to taste

Place all ingredients in the Slow Cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until beans are cooked and tender. Once beans are cooked until tender add salt to taste if needed.





Ham and Bean Soup Freezes really well if you happen to have extra or make a double batch.
