Mom's Best Ham and Bean Soup

“A pot of bean soup made from scratch with navy beans and a big smoked ham bone is made in the pressure cooker. This favorite family recipe is flavored with molasses, brown sugar, and spices, and finished up with some cooked shell pasta to make a meal in a bowl. It's a perfect way to finish off that nice smoked ham you made a day or so ago.”

Excellent soup! I pressure cooked the beans and ham hock then threw the rest in the slow cooker on LOW for about 6 hours. Added pasta in the last 1/2 hour or so. It was savory and delicious and even better the 2nd day! Will definitely make this again. Even the bean soup critics at my house LOVED it!

I used leftover spiral glazed ham, did not include the celery and used canned beans ... and it was fast AND delicious! All of this spices (which I happened to have had on hand) created a very tasty soup!

My family LOVED this recipe! This one for sure is a KEEPER! I will be making this again and again. The recipe is very interchangeable if you don't have all the ingredients that are listed.

It was delicious only I omitted the olive oil. Never ever heard of using olive oil in bean soup (or any other soups)

This was a very good and versitile recipe. I made it twice in a week. First time I used lg lima beans, a smoked turkey leg and chopped up plum tomatoes turned out great. I shared it with my friends and family. Second time was because my daughter's boyfriend & mother-in-law brought home a ham bone from Easter and ask that I make them some soup like I made the first time. Everyone loved it. Thank your mom for sharing and thank you for posting it. Im sure I will be making it for years to come. YUMMY =]
