How long does bean soup last in fridge?

Bean soup can last in the fridge for 3-4 days. To store bean soup in the fridge, place it in a covered container and be sure to let it cool to room temperature before putting it in the fridge. It’s also a good idea to use a shallow container to store the soup, as this will allow it to cool more quickly and reduce the risk of bacterial growth. When you’re ready to eat the soup, be sure to reheat it so that it is safe to consume.

What beans do you use for ham and beans?

You can use navy beans, pinto beans, or great northern beans. These types of beans have a creamy texture and mild flavor that pairs well with ham. You can also use a combination of different types of beans to create a more complex flavor profile.

There are many dishes that go well with ham and beans, including cornbread, biscuits, coleslaw, roasted vegetables, green beans, mashed potatoes, salad, garlic bread, fruit salad, and pickles.
