Time 4h15m

Yield 15 1 1/2 cup, 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs dried navy beans
1 ham bone
1 bay leaf
5 cups low sodium chicken broth
7 cups water
1 medium potato
1 large onion
3 carrots
12 garlic cloves

Steps:

  • sort beans, rinse and add to stock pot.
  • scrub carrots, cut off ends and chop into bite sized chunks, cut the onion into bite sized chunks, add to pot.
  • peel potato and dice into very small pieces, add to pot.
  • add 5 cups low sodium chicken broth, 7 cups water, bay leaf, ham bone, then simmer @ 3 hours.
  • rub loose skin off of garlic cloves, place in a foil pouch, and roast 350 degree oven for @ 30 minutes until they carmelize. Let them cool until you can peel off the last layer of skin, add to 1 cup of bean soup liquid, and blend to a golden slurry and add back to soup. Remove ham bone and shredd meat, add back to soup. Simmer until beans are cooked to your preferred softness @ 30 - 45 more minutes.
  • Please note if you dice the potato very fine it will disolve and make the soup thick and tasty.
