Ingredients

  • 1 pound dry garbanzo beans

  • 1 meaty ham bone

  • 8 cups water, or as needed

  • 10 new potatoes, halved

  • 5 carrots, chopped

  • ½ cup frozen corn

  • ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Place garbanzo beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand for 8 hours to overnight.

  2. Drain and rinse beans, then place into the slow cooker. Place ham bone over beans and pour in 8 cups water or enough to cover by several inches.

  3. Cook on Low for 8 hours.

  4. Skim any foam from the top of soup. Remove ham bone, strip as much meat as possible from the bone, and return meat to the slow cooker; discard the bone. Stir in potatoes, carrots, frozen corn, and black pepper.

  5. Cook on Low for 1 hour. Turn to High and cook for 1 more hour.

Cook’s Note

You can add any vegetables and spices to this soup. I enjoy simpler flavors, so this was wonderful for me! I wouldn't add any salt, however, as ham is already quite salty.
