Step-by-Step Guide to Making Cajun Ham and Sausage Bean Soup
Step 1: Prepare the Beans
Start by soaking your beans overnight. This helps soften them and reduces cooking time. Rinse the beans well and place them in a large bowl of water, ensuring they’re fully submerged.

Step 2: Sauté the Veggies
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat in a large stock pot. Add the diced onion and green bell pepper, cooking until tender and aromatic—about 5 minutes.

Step 3: Build the Base
Pour in 8–9 cups of water and add the ham bone, diced ham, and soaked beans. Bring everything to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.
