Salute the US Navy Bean Soup image

This is the US Senate's navy Bean Soup, tweaked hardly at all. It's basic, and beany. If you have ham for Christmas, then save that bone! If you like this recipe, see others at my website: http://mybestcookbook.wordpress.com

Categories     Bean Soups

Time 2h50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 regular bag of dried navy beans (1 1/2 c approx)
1 ham bone, or smoked ham hock
1 large onion, diced
3 ribs of celery chopped
1 large potato, diced
2 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt and pepper, each

Steps:

  • 1. Use your favorite method for the beans (soaking over night, or fast soak) drain the soaking water. Add 7 cups of water to the beans and add the ham bone. Simmer until beans are tender (about 1 1/4 hours). Remove the ham bone or hock, discard any fat and dice up the ham. Return to the pot.
  • 2. Add the balance of the ingredients and simmer until potatoes are done. (20-30 minutes)
  • 3. I mash some of the beans up with a potato masher to thicken the soup. You can omit this of course.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I used a bag of frozen mixed vegetables and the soup was delicious. I also added a can of diced tomatoes and some Italian seasoning for a little extra flavor.
