Bean and Ham Hock Soup Directions
- Start by washing the Northern beans in cold water and sorting them to remove any stones.
- In a crockpot, combine the rinsed beans, chopped onion, ham hocks, sea salt, and pepper.
- Pour in enough water to submerge the beans by about 2 inches.
- Cover the crockpot and simmer on low heat for about 1.5 hours.
- After 1.5 hours, reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 4-5 hours, or until the beans are soft.
- Once the beans are cooked, remove the ham hocks and shred the meat from the bones.
- Return the shredded ham to the crockpot and sprinkle the erythritol over the mixture.
- If the soup is too thick, drain about 1 cup of liquid before adding the erythritol and whisk everything together gently.
- Serve the soup hot in separate bowls.
