MOM'S SIMPLE NAVY BEAN SOUP



Mom's Simple Navy Bean Soup image

Make and share this Mom's Simple Navy Bean Soup recipe from Food.com.

Provided by rockinred

Categories     Beans

Time 4h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (1 lb) bag dried navy beans
1 -2 chopped onion
1 clove garlic
2 -3 smoked ham hocks (Best results if you tie them into a large piece of cheesecloth)

Steps:

  • Pick over the beans, removing any small stones or beans that just don't look "right".
  • Cover the beans with water in a crockpot (this is usually 2-3 cups of water).
  • Now put the remaining ingredients in a soup pot or crockpot and simmer for another few hours.
  • Mom usually mashes a cup or two of the beans to thicken the soup, but you don't need to do this if you prefer a clear broth.
  • Remove the ham hocks and carefully pick apart, removing the tiny bits of meat from the bones.
  • Return the meat to the soup.
  • Throw out the bones, gristle and skin from the ham hocks.
  • If you've put the hocks in cheesecloth, it helps to keep the little bones that can resemble beans from making their way into the soup as the hocks tend to disintegrate during cooking.
  • If the soup has cooled considerably, get the heat back up and serve.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. You can also quick-soak the beans by bringing them to a boil in a pot of water, then removing them from the heat and letting them soak for an hour.
  • Use a variety of beans: This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include navy beans, Great Northern beans, pinto beans, and black beans.
  • Add vegetables to the soup: Vegetables such as carrots, celery, onion, and garlic will add flavor and nutrition to your soup. You can also add other vegetables, such as potatoes, green beans, or corn.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup with a side of bread or crackers: This will help to soak up the broth and make the meal more satisfying.

Conclusion:

Navy bean soup is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and delicious. It is a great way to use up leftover ham or bacon, and it can also be made vegetarian by omitting the meat. This soup is also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy meal or a hearty and satisfying soup, navy bean soup is a great choice.
