WHITE NAVY BEAN SOUP WITH HAM HOCKS

Steps:

• Pick through beans to make sure there are no stones. Nothing sucks like breaking your teeth on a stone when it should be a bean!
• Place the beans in the crock pot; cover with water.
• Set on high cooking and cook for an hour.
• Now, some of you will argue that we should or should not season the beans because of the skins. Well, it is a moot point here as we are adding something salty to it anyway. Moving right along.
• Ham hocks go inches If you cannot find ham hocks, don't worry. The recipe will be fine. Just throw in a ham bone. No ham bone? You're killing me here! You could just use a couple slices of ham.
• Add your bay leaf to the crock pot. Don't worry - it will float. No panic. Really!
• Hack up the onion, a small dice is fine, toss it into te crock pot.
• Mince the garlic, again - you guesed it - into the crockpot. Are you with me so far?.
• Hack the potatoes into a medium dice, toss them into the crock pot. You will be needing them to give your soup some body - that stick-to-your-ribs quality. Besides, they are in season.
• Set all of that onto 10 hour on low cooking.
• Just before serving, remove the meat and bay leaf from the soup. Once the meat is cold enough to handle, shred it up!
• Puree up half of the soup with a hand blender. Do it right in the crockpot! Why waste or clean another vessel. If you have dishwashers, then don't worry about it. If you don't - you get the idea.
• Put the meat back into the soup.
• Now is the time to adjust for seasoning. We start off with the lemon juice, then we adjust the salt and pepper in stages.
• Taste a spoon full, think about the saltiness or the pepperiness. *I am sure that should be a word!*.
• Once the soup is where you would like it to be, ladle it up and serve it with that local artisan bread.
• Props to you! You just cooked something easy for Winter.

RUDY'S NAVY BEAN SOUP WITH HAM

Steps:

• Heat a large soup pot on medium heat. Once the pot is hot, add olive oil. The pot should not be so hot that the oil smokes. Add chopped carrots and saute for a few minutes until slightly softened. Add diced onions, stir occasionally.
• If desired, while the vegetables saute in the pot, the ham steak may be grilled for 3-4 minutes on each side. This is not necessary, as the steak is already fully cooked, but grilling seems to improve the flavor and texture of the meat.
• When the onions are translucent, add the garlic and allow it to soften for a minute or two but don't let the garlic burn. Trim and dice the ham, removing as much of the fat as possible. Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and stir.
• Using a ladle, carefully remove about half of the soup mixture to a blender. With the lid firmly covering the blender, and with one hand on top of the blender to keep it secure, puree the soup mixture. Return the puree to the soup pot.
• Increase heat to medium high until soup gently boils, then reduce heat to simmer. Allow soup to simmer for about 20 minutes, uncovered, and stir occasionally. Do not add salt or other seasoning until after the soup has simmered. Much of the salt from the ham will simmer out and flavor the soup, so it is not necessary to add salt.
• Taste and adjust seasonings before serving. For a thicker soup, continue to simmer an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. For a thinner soup, add a few ounces of water or chicken broth.
• To "stretch" this recipe and get an additional 1-2 servings, simply add one additional can of Navy beans and about 4-6 more ounces chicken broth (or water) at the appropriate step. Adjust seasoning to taste.
