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 used this recipe and brand “Hurst Hambeens 15 Bean soup” for over 20 years, my kids growing up, absolutely loved it.. Everyone is getting together next week for Thanksgiving and my 30 year old who will be coming home, specifically asked for it. I it awesome!
What’s the calorie per cup?
we do not get this brand of beans out here in California, so where can I buy or what is in the spice packet from the beans that are similar or can you tell me where to get the brand of beans you use, cause this soup sounds delicious
Why the lemon? Making it right now….
I luvd the recipe! I will make this again. Thank u for sharing Chrissy
Would it be possible to tell me the amount in the package of beans, how many cups?
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.
Do you soak your beans first?
You don’t need to soak using this recipe!
Thanks for sharing, this looks like a great recipe.
