Super easy to make, this 15 bean soup is the perfect recipe to use leftover ham and ham bone. Full of different textures and flavors, we love the combination of beans. The ham bone gives this soup tons of flavor and the meat becomes tender. A comforting soup on a cold day. This is a really savory and exciting tasting bean soup which will have them coming back for refills!

- *OPTIONAL* Variation to the above recipe as a Mexican Style Bean Soup. When the soup is cooked, remove the ham. Puree soup in a blender or use an electric stirrer in the pot. Season heavily with chili powder and ground cumin. For a little spicier soup, you may add a little red (cayenne) pepper and or Cajun seasoning, to taste. De-bone and chop ham into bite-size pieces. Return the ham to the soup and cook for another 30 minutes.
