Notes
- It’s important to uselow sodium broth because ham tends to be quite salty, and you don’t want to end up with too much salt in your soup.
- You don’t need to soak your beans for this soup, but you will need to rinse them.
- Any type of mixed dried beans will work. I typically use a bag of 15 bean soup which comes with a seasoning packet. If you don’t have a seasoning packet in your bag of beans, you can simply skip that step in the recipe and it will still be delicious.
