Never underestimate the importance of sauteeing your vegetable base. It adds so much flavour for very little effort.
Also 15 beans? A lot of variety for one bag!
Yeah… with 15 types of beans, there has to be some in there that even the pickiest person will like. This is a real easy, tasty and filling soup. One of my favorites.
I really appreciate the sound quality and cozy presentation, Rob. Have you thought of making an ASMR cooking video? I think you would be a natural!
I have watched a few ASMR cooking videos. I don’t do it for the tingles…I do it to watch the outstanding camera work. Some of those channels have some outstanding video and editing going on. I have been throwing around the idea of doing an ASMR snow shoveling video. It has to be the right snow texture and weather. Hopefully I can pull that off.
Delicious looking meal, Rob. Hope today is a great day! Much love from the Rob Mob.
Thanks. Today is a good day… I’m sure by the end it will be great.
Love the new angle and candied peppers Rob!!
Thanks!
Hi Rob, you really put so much love and care into making your meals and editing the video. It was really cozy and comforting watching you cook the soup! I hope you explode in popularity, you deserve it!
Well…Thank you. I’m trying to improve every video. I’d like to hit upon that video that the TH-cam algorithm gets ahold of and shares on a bunch of feeds. But, if that doesn’t happen I’d be ok with that. I’m doing this because I enjoy it and it beats wasting time yelling at kids to stay off my lawn…(or whatever grumpy old guys do…)
@@RobMilanowskior worse, getting riled up by news of fake meat!
Thank you ... I was stuck 3 hours Into soaking, made a right hand turn into the crock pot. I needed your viedo.
I’m very glad it helped. Hope it comes out good.
Gotta say I loved every second of this video!
Thank you so much for saying that.
Looks like a lovely meal on a cold day, Rob! I was having a less than great day, but this video cheered me right up. I'll have to try this out soon!
I’m sorry to hear you weren’t having a great day and I’m happy this video helped a little. All the best to you.
Nice and easy recipe Rob! But it would be better with hot and sweet, spicy corn bread to enjoy with it. Use a cast Iron skillet.
Here's the recipe I use;
In a mixing bowl use 1 package of Jiffy corn meal mix
1 egg
1/3 cup of milk
1 1/4 jar of chopped Jalapeno in liquid (Your relatives are fine)
1/2 package of minced bell peppers
4 chopped of crisp fried bacon strips.
1 tablespoon of sugar
Pre heat your oven to 400 degrees. Mix well in the bowl, then add it to your cast iron skillet with 1/4 of a
stick of butter. Then cook it for 30 minutes at 400 degrees.
Thanks. I’ll give that a try.
The Rob roulette wheel always lands on 'comfy'
Im glad you think that. This soup really is s comfy soup. Warm, thick and tasty. I just got done having a later dinner. You guessed it, I had some bean soup.
Definitely making this!! Hursts is out of indy! My hometown!!!!!
This is one of my favorite/ easy soups to make. Hursts make s bunch of different variations of their bean soup. I believe most just have a different seasoning packet. Good luck and enjoy!
I have a similar sack of beans sitting next to my rice just begging to be made into a hearty soup or stew. Gonna have to try this!
I don’t think you will be disappointed. The best part is you can add whatever you like.
This is what I'm looking for. But, I like kielbasa. Going to try it!
Kielbasa would taste amazing in this bean soup. Let me know how you like it.
Your remarks about not fretting about picking out any stones reminded me of the children's book "Stone Soup". Agreed that leftover soup usually tastes even better reheated the next day!
Thanks for the comments. I need to make another batch of this soon.
I remember Stone Soup! I was just telling someone that story a few days ago. 😊
Looks great Rob!
Thanks! I enjoyed it a lot.
Thank you going to make…love using crock pot
I made this again yesterday. It’s just as good.
This is a recipe you want to keep on the back of your stove in your Dutch oven and let it just simmer all day long. You don’t mention how it smells but I can smell it. It is wonderful. All you need is southern cornbread and you’re all set. Thank you so so much for this version. I know it’s going to be one of my favorite meals from now on.
Yes, that soup is great if you let it simmer for a very long time. Actually, the way I like it the best is to put it into the refrigerator overnight and reheat the next day. All those flavors combine even deeper and make for an awesome bowl of bean soup. Yes! Corn bread would be great with this.
Looks warm and comforting. I'd definitely add several swigs of Tabasco Habenero for more heat and smokiness. Have a good day.
That sounds great. The jalapeños I put in there kicked up the spice a little. I’ve never had Habanero Tabasco. I had an issue with a habanero at one point in my life. I try to stay away from them… but maybe in a Tabasco variant I might like it.
Hey Rob, I love hot soups when it's freezing outside so thank you for the recipe!
When you said you were gonna use the slow cooker I thought you might be starting a new series of "lazy man" recipes where you throw together canned stuff and call it a day 😂 but I knew that's not you, in fact you had a good amount of prep time for this one.
The final result looks great, my favourite part is how thick and cloudy the broth looks cause it means it'll be nice and savory.
We're around 28F here in Italy so I'll be havin a nice veggie soup over the weekend too, hope yours will be great.
And yeah, I dunno who'd provide this as comfort food in August but you know that they say...different strokes for different folks. 😉
Yes, this definitely is a nice thick, hearty soup. It has been below freezing here for nearly a week now. I was hoping it would warm up because I still have a couple things that need to get done outside before “real” winter kicks in. I’ve lived in this part of the country, my entire life. So I know the next three months are going to be cold and messy. Oh well, I’ll still have good days.
I need to make it back to Italy. I visited there in 2010 at the end of July. It was so hot then, but we had a great time.
The new angle works. May want to try some tilted angle sometime, like 1966 Batman.
Now you are talkin’…. Batman was one of favorites as I was growing up. I hated when there was a … to be continued… episode.
@@RobMilanowski I'm all for it if you also add those onscreen noises they had as you prep and cook...
cutting onions? ZAAACK!
crushing garlic cloves? KRUNCH!
tasting your recipe and it's too hot? OUCH!
Please make a special like this!
@@FallFromGrace8219this would be amazing
Looks great !
Thanks, it was really good. I might be making another batch this week.
Just discovered 15 Beans I’ve made it about 4 times now used turkey necks and ham hocks the first couple times next time I’ll use all sausage like this.
It’s a great soup that you can add just about anything to.
I’ve been wanting to try ham hocks or smoked turkey wings.
I agree 100% about the size of what you put in the soup. I don’t like big chunky things.
When I see people make soup and cut the ingredients into chucks that you would normally put into a beef strew, I think…. Someone is going to need a knife and fork to eat that soup. People… STOP THAT!
Vinegar and peppers sure hits the spot
I agree.
love me some beans especially with meat
You know it’s going to be a good day when meat and beans are involved. It’s going to be an outstanding day if a beer is involved.
I make soup often but have never used my slow cooker but this vid is going to change that.
Ro*tel is the best.
I think you will like it. I’ll be making another batch this weekend.
Hey! There's way more than 15 beans in that pot!!
Now that you mention it, I think you are right. I’m sorry I misled you. That was not my intention.
😂😂😂
now that looks like a perfect meal for such a cold day! looked super easy to make too. i think i'll revisit this recipe in the future when it cools down more here. it's funny you mention comfort food in august because there's one pretty well known youtuber who did an entire series on comfort food over the summer and it really made zero sense at all. the last thing i want to be eating in 100 degree weather is soup!
Really… I was just joking. Maybe this TH-camr had some sort of condition that did not allow him/her to feel temperatures. I hear that’s a thing. I can’t imagine he/she got many views with a comfort food in August video. But then again, they probably got more views than I’m going to get. Oh well…
I made this today, had to substitute black beans for the 15 bean soup since I couldn't find it in my local grocery store. Nonetheless, it came out very well. Thanks for the recipe, Rob!
Sounds great. I bet that had a different twist with just black beans.
Thanks for the idea rob!
I’m glad I could help. It’s pretty easy and oh so tasty.
Rob, this looks super. I will try this on the weekend with some home made bread. Cheers!
I've not seen those beans for sale here before, but I'm sure I can find a similar product to substitute them with.
The above shot camera angle worked well, especially because the video had a variety of shots mixed in and not just that one for a whole ten minutes straight!
Oh yeah… the video that I got that high-angle video shot perspective from had a person that kept talking and talking…. There seemed to be zero editing going on. I was wondering if that was a thing that I should try to emulate. (I guess not)….
If you don’t mind me asking… are you located outside the US? I’m pretty sure they are located everywhere in the us. If you can’t get the 15 Bean mix, these are the different types of beans in it. Contains 15 of these bean varieties: northern, pinto, large lima, yelloweye, garbanzo, baby lima, green split, kidney, cranberry, small white, pink, small red, yellow split, lentil, navy, white kidney, black bean.
@@RobMilanowski Thank you for the list - yes, I live in the UK. Most of those beans you listed are usually available here, but sold in large individual bags, I can't say I've ever seen a mixed bag like the HamBeens before. In the interest of cost saving I may have to substitute with a simple can of mixed beans for this one but I'm sure it will turn out good all the same!
@@Spooky_32 yes, I think it will turn out ok. You probably don’t need to cook it as long because the beans have already been softened. You can really make this soup anyway you would like. Maybe change up the chicken stock and use beef or ham. I hope yours turns out good. I miss the UK. I got to spend a lot of time in the Manchester/Liverpool area for work. My wife came with me a couple times and we took the train to Scotland and Wales. Also took the train to London a few times for long weekends.
Use the bean pack. It adds more flavor. Unless you are making a totally different flavor like chili or taco flavor.
Yes, the spice pack does add more flavor. I prefer a lighter less salty flavor…. That’s why I control it by adding my own stock. I have used the spice packet a few times and it was ok. Thanks for commenting. I appreciate hearing how other people make bean soup.
Great recipe...love to try it but my son is allergic to peas... which I see is in the Hambeens mix. Should I make my own mix or do you think they offer a mix without peas?
I’ve never seen the hambeans without peas. I’d recommend you make your own mix. There are lots of dried beans out there that you could easily combine and make your own unique blend. Do you know what?… I might give that a try. Thanks!
Simple and delicious. Did you consider adding any laguintas beer? A fellow TH-cam cook says it adds a great flavor to soups and chilis.
No, I did consider adding an IPA to this. I however, did have a nice New Belgium VooDoo Ranger IPA while waiting for this to get done. I have used beer in chili before, but I’m not really a big fan. I make a Wisconsin Beer Cheese soup that absolutely requires having beer in it. That’s probably the only soup I like to add beer to.
Why not to use the seasoning packet? Just made this in the old slow cooker, but I did use the seasoning. Thank you!
I don’t care to use the seasoning packet that comes with the beans because it is usually too salty for me. When I make my own chicken stock, I have control of the flavoring better. I have used the seasoning packet that comes with the beans but for me it has too much of a ham flavor. If the packet works for you, I think that’s great. I hope you enjoyed.
This looks delicious. I'm about to make it, but will sautéing the vegetables make them mushy?
You ask a very good question. Cooking anything in a slow cooker over a long period of time is going to very much tenderize the texture. I’m fairly sure if I would not have sautéed the onions and peppers, they still would’ve become very soft after cooking for that length of time in the slow cooker. I did not notice any mushiness with these vegetables. I know it brought out the sweetness of the onions more by sautéing them. So, I’d say sautéing is the way to go.
Thanks for the quick response. I'm cooking this tomorrow.
Ha that’s funny. Ironic you live 20 minutes from Johnsonville and I live 20 minutes from Zionsville, which is where hurst beans come from!
That is pretty cool.
Looks delicious, I'll have to try it this weekend to make a big batch for next week's meal prep. Nothing like a good stew for lunch on those cold days at work.
Just curious, what's wrong with the flavor packet that comes with the beans?
The flavor packet that comes with it is a ham flavor and to my tastebuds is a bit too salty. I think using chicken stock that I can control the salt level a little better way to go.
Good stuff. I've done something similar. It's really good. I browned my sausage though. What do you think?
I think browning the sausage is a great idea. I probably should have done that. The andouille sausage I used was already cooked, however, browning it in a pan would’ve brought out even more flavor.
Get you an Instapot and you will be enjoying the beans in an hour.😁
I with I could find some good TH-cam videos that explains how to use an insta-pot the right was.
Please make sure that your slow cooker “high setting” boils the beans; lower settings will make you sick.
Thanks for the note.
You don't check for stones in the bag? 😩
Funny, you should mention that. I think I mentioned in the video that I don’t check for stones because I’ve never, ever found one. Well, my last batch of bean soup I made, I found a little pebble. I am going to be checking from now on. Who would’ve thought?
and 15 kinds of farts to go with it 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Yeah… that can be an issue…
Hey! There's way more than 15 beans in that pot!!
Prove it!…
Yes, I would say there is at least a few hundred. But I am not going to count.
