Another version of this famous soup but, this one can never be accused of being bland! It is as full of flavor as the senate is full of...well, never mind! :-)

Categories     Pork

Time 2h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb dried navy beans (2 1/2 c.)
10 cups water, divided
1 small ham hock (or left over ham bone with meat attached)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon pepper
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup carrot, chopped
2 large celery ribs, finely chopped
1/4 cup parsley
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • Soak beans overnight in 6 cups of the water (or bring to boil; boil 2 minutes and let stand, covered, 1 hour).
  • Add remaining 4 cups water, the ham hock, bay leaf and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover; simmer 1 1/4 hours or until beans are almost tender.
  • Stir in remaining ingredients, cover; cook 20 to 30 minutes more, until beans are tender.
  • Discard bay leaf. Cut meat from bone and shred, then return the meat to the pot.
  • *I often throw everything into the crockpot, after the first step, and let it simmer on high for 4 hours or on low 8 hours -- a good dinner to come home to! Just shred the meat and remove the bone and bay leaf before serving.

I'm not sure what went wrong with this soup, but it was a disaster. It was burnt, lumpy, and completely inedible. I had to throw it all away.

This soup is terrible! It's bland, watery, and the beans are mushy. I wouldn't even feed this to my dog.

I didn't like this soup at all. It was too salty and the beans were undercooked. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This soup is okay. It's not the best soup I've ever had, but it's not bad either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This soup was a little bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of extra seasoning to make it palatable. However, it was still a hearty and filling meal.
