MY SISTER'S NAVY BEAN SOUP



My Sister's Navy Bean Soup image

I'm shameless about scrounging a ham bone so I can make this soup! If the "donation" has been scraped pretty clean of meat, I'll purchase a less expensive boneless dinner ham, use the center portion for dinner or a couple of breakfasts and run the ends through the food processor to supplement my soup.

MOM'S SIMPLE NAVY BEAN SOUP

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.
