Slow Cooker Soups

Cuban Black Bean Soup

1 1/3 cups chopped onions
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp each dried oregano and thyme
1/4 tsp pepper
2 ham hocks (11/2 lb total)
4 cans (about 15 oz each) black beans, rinsed
2 cans (14 oz each) chicken broth
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
Garnish: chopped hard-cooked egg
Mix onions, garlic, jalapeño pepper, cumin, oregano, thyme and pepper in a 4 1/2-qt or larger slow-cooker. Top with ham hocks and beans; add broth.  Cover and cook on low 7 to 9 hours until meat on ham hocks is tender.  Lift out ham hocks. When cool enough to handle, remove and discard skin and fat. Remove meat from bones, chop coarsely and return to soup. Stir in lemon juice. Garnish with egg.
