I copied this recipe from recipezaar.com several years ago. I will rewrite it as the original, but I'm going to add some of my personal notes at the end. It is very easy to make.

Time 2h45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs navy beans (dried)
1 ham bone
1 gallon water
1 medium onion, diced small
4 stalks celery, diced small
2 carrots, diced small
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Rinse beans in cool water and soak overnight. In a 6-quart stock pot, add drained beans, ham bone, water, and seasonings and bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer over a medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until beans are soft (about 1 1/2 hours). Add vegetables and cook until tender and soup has thickened. Remove ham bone, adjust seasonings and enjoy with Irish Brown Bread or you favorite crackers.
  • Chef Matt: Meg O'Malley's.
  • Notes: I first cooked a bone-in ham by rubbing the surface with ground ginger and cloves; put in a "brown-n-bag" and pour in a small bottle of ginger ale. Seal and place in a 325* oven for 3 hours. To the soup, I add an extra carrot, more salt and pepper, an extra teaspoon of thyme and some of the ham that I have diced. YUM ! ! !

This soup is a disaster. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out bland and watery. I don't recommend this recipe.

This soup is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I probably won't make it again.

This soup is a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time I make it.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.
