This is a soup my mom made all the time and I couldn't stand it but right now it sounds so good to me. It is so easy that I like to make it on those busy winter days. Ingredients:
1 lb navy beans or 1 lb great northern bean |
1 medium onion, chopped |
2 stalks celery, chopped |
1 cup chopped ham |
1 bay leaf |
salt and pepper |
water |
Directions:
1. Soak the beans overnight.
2. The next morning, after I rinse the beans, I just throw everything in the crockpot, put in enough water to come within an inch of the top of the crock and put it on low for 8 hours or as long as 12 hours. This usually works great in my 3.5 qt crockpot. Rethinking this, I realized that everyone doesn't have the same size crockpot that i did, I would suggest adding water to no higher than an inch above the beans.
3. Remove the bay leaf and serve.
