Navy Bean and Ham Soup made with canned beans, ham hocks, carrots, celery, dried rosemary and thyme, and a little bacon for flavor.

Provided by Lucy Brewer

Categories     Soups

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cans navy beans, rinsed and drained (unsalted if you can find them)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2-2 quarts chicken stock
2 large smoked ham hocks or 1 ham bone
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
2 bay leaves
1 cup diced cooked ham (I buy the packet of diced ham in the meat dept. unless I have ham saved)
Salt and pepper to taste
6-8 bacon strips, cooked crispy and crumbled

Steps:

  • In large Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onions, carrot, and celery and saute for five minutes. Add garlic and saute for thirty seconds.
  • Add 1 and 1/2 quarts chicken stock, beans, ham hocks, parsley, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, and diced ham. Add a little freshly ground black pepper.
  • Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. You may need to add additional stock.
  • Remove ham hocks or ham bone and allow to cool enough to handle, then cut the meat off the bones and add to the pot along with the cup of diced ham. Discard the bones.
  • If you want to thicken the soup, remove about 2 cups of beans and puree in a blender then add back to the soup.
  • Taste and season accordingly with salt and pepper. The ham is usually salty so I don't add much salt until I taste the soup. Serve with crumbled bacon on top.

NAVY BEAN N HAM SOUP



Navy Bean N Ham Soup image

I had a ham bone left from the ham I baked yesterday...had some beans needing used, so put this on, this morning...this soup can be made on the stove top or crock pot...enjoy!

Provided by Cassie *

Categories     Bean Soups

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 (HAM AND BEAN) SOUP



Navy Bean (Ham and Bean) Soup image

Hearty, thick soup that's a perfect something to do with your leftover holiday ham and bones. Use two bones with plenty of meat on them instead of the ham hocks. I make it every time we have two ham bones in the freezer and once I take most of the meat off, the dogs get the bones for a special treat, so they love when I make this too! Found it on the Food Network site, but I've tweaked it a bit.
