How Do You Thicken Ham And Bean Soup?
There are several ways to thicken ham and bean soup. One way is to blend some of the beans to create a creamy consistency. Another option is to mix flour or cornstarch with water or broth to create a slurry and add it to the soup. Cook the soup for a few minutes to allow it to thicken. Another option is to add mashed potatoes or pureed vegetables such as carrots or squash, which can also add flavor and depth to the soup.
