Tomato Artichoke 15-Bean Soup
If you’re looking for a way to get “back on track” after eating too many Christmas sweets you’ll want to put this soup on the menu this week. Tomato Artichoke 15-Bean Soup is a healthy soup that’s full of flavor and chock full of nutritional goodness. It doesn’t have any meat in it, but because of the artichoke hearts and beans you won’t even miss the meat. I toyed with the idea of putting cubed ham in the soup and I still think that might be a good idea so if you have leftover Christmas ham, you may want to try it out…but it’s not necessary.
Soaking the Beans
You’ll start this soup with Hurst’s Hambeens Brand 15 Bean Soup. You can find this product in the dried beans section of your grocery store. 15 Bean Soup is packed full of nutrition and fiber and cost less than $1.00 per serving! I always like to soak my beans overnight with a bit of salt. This helps the beans get to the perfect texture and consistency when you cook them the next day.

But what if I forget to soak the beans? Don’t worry, it’s not ideal but you can always use the quick soak method.
How to quick soak dried beans:
Use a colander to rinse the beans. Place the beans in a colander and run cool water over the top of the beans. Discard any dirt or stones.
Add the beans to a saucepan. Cover the beans completely with water. They will soak up a lot of the water so make sure to get about 2 inches of water over the top of the beans.
Bring the beans to a boil over high heat. Let the beans boil for one minute and then remove the pot from the heat.
Cover the beans with a lid and let them soak in the hot water for one hour.
Use a colander to drain the water off of the beans. Now they are ready to be used in your recipe!

I like to cook my soaked beans in the slow cooker. It’s a hands-off, brains-off method that I find to be super easy. For this Tomato Artichoke 15-Bean Soup I actually put the beans and water in my slow cooker before I went to bed and let them cook all night on low. If you’re gone from your home and working all day, you can let your slow cooker cook the beans while you’re gone. My slow cooker needed about 10 hours on low to get the beans cooked to my desired consistency. But your slow cooker may only need 8 hours. All slow cookers are different and can cook a little hot or cool.

After the beans are cooked you’ll saute up some onion and add in crushed tomatoes and a few other ingredients and let everything simmer for a few minutes. One tip I’ve learned about dried beans is that you can’t add any acidic ingredients (like tomatoes) to uncooked dried beans or they’ll take forever to get soft. So we save the tomatoes for the end of the cooking process. I hope you’ll try out this soup recipe for your next meatless meal, I know you’ll love it!

Can the tomato artichoke 15 bean soup be made in the instant pot?
Thank you
Hi Jimmie, I haven’t tried this one in the Instant Pot but I am sure you could do it. Here is my normal 15 bean soup in the IP. I would follow those instructions: https://www.365daysofcrockpot.com/instant-pot-15-bean-soup/
Hi Katen,
Thank very much for your help😊
The soup was easy to make and delicious especially the artichokes. We used artichokes in brine and omited the added salt. Will make again. Great recipe.

Oh, I really like that idea!
