Lisa's Dried Great Northern Bean Soup image

This is a family favorite we have all the time. We eat it with crackers but you could also serve with cornbread. It's a wonderful dish on a cold day , but we like it anytime.

Categories     Beans

Time 3h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups dried great northern beans
8 cups water
1 small onion, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 bay leaf
ham hock
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Look over the beans and remove any rocks or broken beans. Rinse the beans and put in a large pot. Add water, about 8 cups or enough to cover by at least an inch. Bring to a boil on stove. Add onions, garlic, bay leaf and ham hock. Return to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Makw sure you don't run out of water and that the beans don't scorch. Add more water if necessary.
  • After beans have softened (about 2 hours), add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Continue cooking until beans are done. Make sure the soup is not too thick or too thin. (I usually get it too thick but you can always add water to thin it out.). Remove bay leaf and serve.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I usually add a few chopped carrots and celery to the soup, and sometimes I even add some cooked rice. It's a great way to use up leftover ham or bacon.

This soup is a great way to warm up on a cold day. It's hearty and filling, and the beans are so tender and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham. I used a ham bone and some leftover ham chunks, and the soup was full of flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
