Senate Navy Bean Soup image

I can't read my handwritten recipe card that this was written on because of all the spills that landed on it whilst making this delicious, comforting soup. I clipped this from a newspaper (or magazine?) years ago and my husband has since taken over the task of making this soup from any hambone that he can acquire. I do hope you enjoy this as much as we do. :)

I'm not a big fan of ham, but I really enjoyed this soup. The ham flavor was very subtle and it didn't overpower the other flavors in the soup.

I added some chopped carrots and celery to the soup and it was delicious. I also used chicken broth instead of water and it gave the soup a richer flavor.

This soup is a little too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt than the recipe calls for.
