Easy Pinto Bean Soup


So this is one of my favorite bean recipes for Amy over at Homestead Revival of a super easy version of Pinto Bean Soup. It is designed to be made after you cook a ham so that you can use the leftover ham bone which flavors the soup perfectly!

Ingredients:

2-3 cups of dry Pinto Beans (more or less depending on size of your crockpot)
1 ham bone
3 tablespoons of salt, pepper to taste
6-10 cups of water depending on the size of your crockpot

Add first three ingredients to a large crockpot. Fill crockpot with water almost to the brim. Add seasonings to taste. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. This soup is delicious with cornbread. Enjoy!
