1 (16 ounce) package dry navy beans - picked over, rinsed, and drained
10 sprigs fresh parsley
2 sprigs chopped fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
2 large smoked ham hocks
1 carrot, coarsely chopped
1 onion, coarsely chopped
1 clove garlic, coarsely chopped
8 cups cold water

THE BEST BEAN AND HAM SOUP



The Best Bean and Ham Soup image

I make this hearty soup using the ham bone from our Easter spiral ham. I serve it with corn muffins and fresh fruit. It makes a huge pot of soup, so invite some friends or just freeze several portions for later use. Remember to soak the beans the night before you make the soup.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more tender. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by bringing them to a boil in a pot of water, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of beans: This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Try using a combination of navy beans, pinto beans, and black beans.
  • Don't overcook the beans: Overcooked beans will be mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender, about 1 hour.
  • Add vegetables to the soup: Vegetables will add flavor, nutrients, and color to your soup. Try adding carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
  • 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:

Ham and Navy Bean Soup is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a very affordable and easy-to-make soup. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
