We got this recipe from , but after making so many changes we've claimed it as a family favorite! Even kids yum it up! Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) package dried navy beans |
6 cups water |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes (garlic & onion) |
1 onion, chopped |
2 stalks celery (finely minced) |
1 garlic clove (minced) |
1/2 lb ham (finely chopped) |
1 tablespoon of chicken flavored better than bouillon |
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce |
1 tablespoon parsley (dried) |
2 teaspoons garlic powder |
1 bay leaf |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
3 cups water |
Directions:
1. Combine beans, water, tomatoes, onion, celery, garlic, ham, bouillon, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, garlic, and bay leaf in a stock pot; bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for two hours.
2. Add additional water. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for an additional two hours. Discard bay leaf.
3. ****if time allows, I often make a ham stock instead of using the bouillon and 1/2lb of ham. My family just prefers this to chunks of meat in a soup. I'll add the traditional stock ingredients and then use that to proceed with the soup recipe - it's MUCH more flavorful this way. I'll also use the little flavor packet that comes with the navy beans. ****.
