Navy Bean Soup

Mom has very good memories of this - her mom used to make it and Mom thinks this is pretty darn close.

Boil and simmer ham bone until meat falls off the bone. Discard the bone and cut up the ham.

Add:

1-2 T minced garlic
1 chopped onion
Boil until done. Add 16 oz. canned white beans or soak and cook 1 pound dried beans instead.

(If you want to do this in the crock pot, boil the ham bone, onion and garlic first.)

  1. I just made this soup tonight on a showy April day! I did not add the garlic--just the chopped onion to the ham bone while it boiled. I then added 4 cans white beans with the liquid and simmered longer. We think it was better this way!
