NEIGHBORHOOD HAM AND BEAN SOUP



Neighborhood Ham and Bean Soup image

The flavors in this bean soup remind me of the bean soup my grandmother used to make on our farm in Ohio when I was a young girl. I love to make it during the winter months -- it doesn't last long. My daughter is now making it for her family as well. Maybe it's called "Neighborhood" bean soup because the neighbors love it when I make it -- it's a wonderful soup to share with special friends. It is great served wtih a nice piece of hot corn bread. I can't remember exactly where I found the recipe -- but I'm glad I have it and I hope you will feel the same.

Time 6h30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups dried great northern beans
5 cups chicken broth (low sodium is best)
3 cups water
1 large meaty ham bone (I use 2 or 3 smoked ham hocks)
2 -3 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/4 teaspoon dried savory
1 medium onion, chopped
3 medium carrots, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped (I also put in a handful of the chopped celery leaves)
1 large potato, cut into cubes (optional, but very good)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Place beans in a Dutch oven or soup kettle; add water to cover by 2".
  • Bring to a boil; boil for 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 1 hour. Drain.
  • Add broth, water, ham bone, bouillon and seasonings; bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2 hours (I find I usually add at least an hour to this).
  • Sauté' onions, carrots and celery in oil; add to soup along with cubed potato (if using).
  • Cover and simmer 1 hour longer.
  • Debone ham and cut into chunks; return to soup.
  • Skim fat (I find I don't have any to skim).
  • I like to mash some of the beans once they get soft. My total cooking time is more like 6 hours than 4 hours.
  • Great served with corn bread.
