This prosciutto and bean soup is made of hearty beans, savory prosciutto, garlic and herbs that simmer together in one pot for a cozy meal that is perfect to warm you up on a cold day!
This prosciutto and bean soup has always been a favorite soup recipe of mine to make during the long winter months. It was passed down from my mother-in-law who would cure their own legs of prosciutto which had amazing out of this world taste!
I loved to use the gambetto or ‘last bit of leg’ from her to make this hearty bean prosciutto soup! Prosciutto adds the most amazing flavor and pairs well with the savory tomato broth and hearty beans.
A hot bowl of this soup is cozy, comforting and perfect for warming up on a cold night. Other soup recipes we love to make include this Italian vegetable soup and hearty chickpea soup.
