Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (16 ounce) package dried navy beans
water to cover
7 cups chicken stock
½ cup margarine
4 carrots, chopped
1 onion, chopped
½ pound bacon

Steps:

  • Clean and sort the beans. Place them in a large bowl with water to cover and soak for 3 hours.
  • In a large pot over medium heat, combine the beans and the chicken stock and allow to simmer.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter or margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots and onion and saute for 10 minutes, or until onion is caramelized. Add this mixture to the pot.
  • In the same skillet over medium high heat, saute the bacon for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it is crisp. Drain the grease and add the bacon to the pot. Continue to simmer the soup over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the beans are tender and the soup has thickened.

This soup is delicious and so versatile! I've made it with different types of beans, vegetables, and meats. It's always a hit. I love that it's a great way to use up leftover ingredients.

This is my new favorite soup recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit. I love that I can use dried beans or canned beans, depending on what I have on hand.

I made this soup for a potluck and it was a huge success! Everyone loved it. I especially liked the addition of the bay leaf and thyme. They really added a depth of flavor to the soup.

This is a great recipe for a hearty and filling soup. I used smoked sausage instead of ham and it added a delicious smoky flavor. I also added a few diced carrots and celery for extra vegetables.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great! The beans were cooked perfectly and the broth was flavorful. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was a hit.

This soup is delicious and so easy to make! I used dried navy beans and cooked them in my Instant Pot. The soup was done in about an hour. I served it with a side of cornbread and it was the perfect comfort food.

I've made this soup several times and it's always a hit! The beans are tender and flavorful, and the broth is rich and satisfying. I love that it's so easy to make, too. I usually use a slow cooker, but it's also great made on the stovetop.
