Hello! I have a new recipe for you to try for game day. It has all the expected flavors you’d want for game day but with a unique twist, 15 bean soup mix! As you may know I’ve been busy the last few month creating recipes for Hurst’sⓇ HamBeensⓇ and am happy that I’ve signed up to do a few more. This recipe has been one of my favorites, I love anything spicy and I love how the chicken thighs help flavor the broth of this soup.
I’ve been really lucky to find this soup mix at my local Walmart and Fred Meyers. If you want to check where to pick up this soup mix, you can look here.
I served this soup with homemade tortilla strips. I made those by cutting up corn tortillas and frying them in hot oil. This soup is on the spicy side, to cool it down serve with a dollop of sour cream.
If you love this 15 bean recipe and want to see more like this you can find them at Hurst’s Hambeens. I hope you enjoy this recipe and have a great weekend.

Hi! If I am wanting to make this but I can’t find the 15 bean soup locally, what could I substitute?
Sometimes you may need to check the Spanish area for the 15 beans soup.
Walmart
I think any combo of dried black beans, pinto beans, etc would work. Just need to know how many cups of dried beans are in this package. I am going to try this that way- just ordered some Rancho Gordo heirloom beans and this will be my first use for them! This recipes looks perfect!
It’s a 20 ounce bag of beans, so if my math is correct I figure 2 1/2 cups of beans should do it.
goya has 16 bean soup
Walmart usually has the 15 bean soup shown in video.
On the bag of beans it said to soak overnight..Don’t have to with this recipe?
Hi! No, you do not have to. 🙂 Works just fine. The bean company suggested for me to try this way without soaking and I will never do it again! Cooking on high works great, no soaking required.
Made it today, this was beyond amazing!!
Great to hear Shannon, we loved it too!
Could you use boneless chicken instead of chicken thighs. Nobody likes it ?
Breasts? Yes, that would work just fine.
Love to hear everyone talk about this soup . we love bean soups . so I can’t wait to try this one
Making the 15 bean buffalo chicken soup today & wonder where you get your recipe portions from – mine are filling up the crock pot way more than yours on the video does – I could only get 5 cups of broth in with the one cup of buffalo sauce – my 3 carrots, 3 stalks of celery & one onion look like so much more than yours on the video and I am using the largest oval crock pot made….
You’re slow cooker may be smaller than you think. There are slow cookers that are a 4-quart oval. I used a 6 quart.
Mine is a 6 quart
I have a 4 quart slow cooker. Is there an adapted recipe?
You could cut it in half, this recipe as is makes a very full 6 quart.
What if I cook it on low? How many hours do I cook it for??
I would do about 10 hours.
