Ken, my 'boyfriend-good friend-significant other,' brought a pot of this over the other day and I HAD to have the recipe! It was soooo good! Perfect for this damp-grey-chilly time of the year. He found this a while ago, but has made some changes over time. (Ahhh, there's something special about a man who appears on your doorstep with a full pot of homemade soup! :-) Break out your soup pot and try this, you'll love it!
1¼c dry navy beans
5+c water
1¼# cooked ham - diced
1 t salt
1 t garlic powder
pepper to taste
2 carrots - sliced
1 stalk celery - sliced
3 med potatoes - diced
¼ onion - chopped
Rinse beans. Soak in cold water overnight. Add diced ham, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer 1 hour. Add vegetables and more water if needed. Cover and simmer 45 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Note: One good way to get the ham for this recipe is to go to the Deli department at your local grocery store. Ask them to cut a single slice of cooked ham that is about 3/4 inch thick. When you get home, you can cut that slice of ham into chunks to use in this recipe. Serving suggestion: Serve with Colby cheese sandwiches.
