Smoked Ham Hock 15 Bean Soup
This is one of those meals I love making for my family when we want something warm, hearty, and comforting. I put this pot of 15 Bean Soup together with our Grass Roots Smoked Ham Hocks, plenty of fresh vegetables, collard greens, and a little Cajun seasoning for extra flavor.
It’s an easy meal that fills the whole house with the most amazing smoky, savory aroma. After a few hours in the crockpot, the beans are tender, the ham practically falls apart, and everything comes together into a delicious, satisfying bowl of comfort.
I love serving mine with a big piece of honey cornbread for dipping. I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine does!
