Hearty Ham Bone Black Bean Soup

Hearty Ham Bone Black Bean Soup
  • 1 ham bone with some meat
  • 1 drizzle olive oil
  • 3 stalks celery with leaves, chopped, or more to taste
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 (12 ounce) package baby carrots
  • 1 cup fingerling potatoes, or to taste
  • 1 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped (optional)
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 (19 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can vegetable juice (such as V8®)
  • 1 (11 ounce) can canned corn (such as Green Giant Niblets®), drained (optional)
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green chilies
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste


  1. Place ham bone in a large slow cooker.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute celery, onion, and garlic until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour mixture over the ham bone in the slow cooker.
  3. Saute carrots, potatoes, and red bell pepper in the same saucepan until coated in oil, about 1 minute. Transfer vegetables to the slow cooker; add water, black beans, vegetable juice, corn, tomatoes, green chiles, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cover and cook on High until soup is warm, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Reduce heat to Low; continue to cook for 5 to 6 hours.
  4. Remove ham bone from the soup. Separate meat from the bone and return to the soup; discard the bone. Cover soup and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight. Discard thick fat on the top of the soup and reheat.
