Easy Black Bean and Ham Soup in the Crock Pot

ksludwig

My finance raved over this recipe. It is yummy, very filling, and packed with protein. Perfect for a big group meal or to divide into containers for lunches/dinners throughout the week. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Ingredients:
4 cans black beans
2 cans low sodium fat-free chicken broth
6 tsp minced garlic (fresh or prepared in jar)
1 onion, diced into small pieces
2 cups of ham (you can add more or less. I often used what's left over from a ham dinner)

Optional: 1tbsp of horseradish (I have never tried it, but the original I tweaked had this suggestion)

Directions
Combine all ingredients in crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours.

Makes 9-10 1 cup servings

When entered into MFP recipe calculator,
1 serving = 272 calories, 45 carbs, 4 fat, 26 protein

(The carbs are mostly from the beans, so they are good carbs)

I am going to give this a try tomorrow- I am not supposed to have deli ham BUT I think a few pieces won't hurt too much--I just hope my husband likes it he isn't in to healthy eating!
