Irish Parliament Bean Soup ~ Vintage Recipe — 20 Comments

  1. How did you alter with the crock pot times? Did I put it on high for an hour and a half then add veggies and put on low? How long did you let it simmer after that?

  2. Hi Melissa,
    Since my crock pot doesn’t heat as fast as the stove top, I had to allow a longer time in the crock pot. High for an hour and half was pretty close to having the beans tender, so I added the other veggies then. I would suggest watching the beans a bit closer than the clock, tho. If they get to the point where you can smash them with a spoon and very little force, they’re ready for the rest of the veggies. After putting in the carrots, celery and onions, I kept the crock pot on low for another few hours. Again, I used the spoon/fork test to check for done-ness of the veggies. I like to simmer on a low heat for awhile to allow all the flavors to blend.

    Thanks for asking me to clarify!

    ps – make sure you are making the correct quantity to feed your crowd, this recipe makes a huge amount of beans and I’d recommend cutting the amounts in half.

    I love white bean soups…and I especially love using ham in them. This looks so comforting and delicious today. Bookmarking for later…thanks for the recipe inspiration 🙂

    • Hi Cathleen, do you still have that Easter ham bone? This is a great way to use that!
      Just make sure you use the “for family” recipe … or you’ll have soup coming out of your ears!

    This is my favorite soup recipe!! I used to work at a hospital that served this every Thursday. I have a leftover ham bone from Easter and I’ll be making a batch of this soup!

  5. Hi, I actually at the real McCoy at Meg O’Malley’s just today. It was absolutely delicious. Still just .18¢ for a cup. I ate way too much food today, I’m going to have to lay down for a nap now. Thanks for the recipe!

    No quite but good. I lived in downtown Mel for 20yr and while this was very good, it misses the mark.
    The basic recipe may tell you to cook it for such and such a time but Megs bean soup sits and simmers for hours.
    You can’t see a pieces of vegetables as in your picture. Everything is melded together
