NAVY BEAN AND HAM SOUP (IN A CROCK-POT)



Navy Bean And Ham Soup (in a crock-pot) image

I just love this bean soup recipe , my mom taught me how to make this years ago but I have changed it a bit to fit my tastes. You can make this soup with different types of beans if you prefer too. This soup can be made on the stove top too if you don't have a crock-pot.

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 c dry navy beans
2 1/2 c water
2 1/2 c chicken stock or broth
1 1/2 lb ham butt, or large ham bone
1 c chopped celery with leaves
large onion, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
2 bay leaves
1/2 tsp italian seasoning
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp chicken or ham, better than buillon soup base - or 1 buillon cube - for more flavor - optional
salt to taste at the end of cooking

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse beans, picking out any bad ones. Cover with water so there is a couple of inches of water over the top of the beans; soak overnight. Drain and add 2 1/2 cups chicken stock and 2 1/2 cups water (enough to cover beans) in a large soup pot. Bring to quick boil over high heat. Reduce heat and add remaining ingredients ( except for salt ). If soup bone is not mostly covered with water & broth add a little more of either.
  • 2. Bring to quick boil over high heat. Reduce heat and add remaining ingredients ( except for salt ). If soup bone is not mostly covered with water & broth add a little more of either. Bring soup back to a boil and then reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 2 1/2 hours, until beans are very tender.
  • 3. When beans are tender, remove the soup bone and cut off any meat and add back into the soup. If you have additional leftover ham, some can be added to the soup to provide a little more meat to the soup if desired. If mixture appears too thick, add a little boiling water or I add chicken stock... Now, is a good time to taste and add salt to your liking.
  • 4. Crock pot method: Use basically the same directions only after bringing the beans to a quick boil, pour them and the water & broth into the slow cooker. Add all the remaining ingredients, cover and turn slow cooker on low. Cook for 10 hours or until beans are tender. To speed cooking time you can cook on high for the first hour and then turn down to low and cook for 7 hours

NAVY BEAN SOUP IN THE CROCK POT



Navy Bean Soup in the Crock Pot image

This is my adaptation of a recipe I found in "The Unwatched Pot". Total comfort food. Everyone in the family likes this one. It freezes very well and is creamier when it thaws.

Provided by dicentra

Categories     Pork

Time 6h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups dried navy beans
1/2 cup onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, diced
1 ham hock
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 bay leaf
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 (16 ounce) can chicken broth

Steps:

  • Place all of the ingredients in the crock pot.
  • Add enough water to generously cover the beans.
  • Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 5-6.
  • Remove ham hock.
  • Discard fat and bones and return the meat to the soup.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to reduce the cooking time and makes them more digestible. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 2 minutes, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of beans: This recipe calls for navy beans, but you can also use other types of beans, such as pinto beans, black beans, or kidney beans. Using a variety of beans will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the crock pot: When adding the ingredients to the crock pot, make sure not to overcrowd it. The beans need room to expand as they cook. If the crock pot is too crowded, the beans will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the soup on low: Cooking the soup on low for 6-8 hours allows the flavors to develop and the beans to become tender. If you cook the soup on high, the beans may become overcooked and mushy.
  • Season the soup to taste: Before serving, taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.

Conclusion:

This navy bean and ham soup is a hearty, flavorful, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The soup is made with simple ingredients that are likely already in your pantry, and it can be cooked in a crock pot, which makes it a great option for busy weeknights. Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
