Winter Navy Bean & Ham Soup image

This is something I like to cook up when I have some leftover ham from the New Years on a cold winter evening. I have made this with turkey kielbasa sausage, or you could use any kind of salted meat. This is identical to the recipe I use for black-eyed peas on New Years Day. Serve with corn bread and green salad.

Categories     Lentil

Time 2h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups dried navy beans
6 cups water
6 chicken bouillon cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb chopped ham
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, whole
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots, sliced
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Soak beans according to package directions.
  • Add Bouillon cubes to 6 cups water.
  • Add Chopped Ham.
  • Lightly saute onion, celery, garlic in oil, add to stock.
  • Add carrots, beans simmer on low 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
  • salt and pepper to taste.
  • I live right at sea level here in Alaska, so for some reason beans cook faster here, forgot to add that in until after a couple of reviews.

I added some extra vegetables to the soup, like carrots and celery. It was a great way to get even more nutrients into the soup.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the ham from the soup. It was still delicious!

This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have a lot of ham leftover after the holidays, and this soup is a great way to use it up.

I'm not a big fan of ham, but I really enjoyed this soup. The beans and vegetables were so flavorful, and the ham just added a nice touch of smokiness.
