A hearty and comforting Navy Bean Ham Bone Soup cooked with tender beans and flavorful ham.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound dried white beans, like Navy, Great Northern, or Cannellini
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled, cut into rounds
  • 3 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 ham bone, with about a cup of meat left on the bone
  • 6 cups (48 ounces) chicken broth
  • 6 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
  • parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Add the dried beans to a colander. Rinse them under cold running water to remove any debris.
  2. To a large pot, add the rinsed beans. Add enough cold water to cover the beans. Bring to a boil over high heat. Let them boil for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Remove the pot from the heat, cover, and let the beans soak for 1 hour. After soaking, drain and rinse the beans. Set aside.
  4. To the same large pot over medium heat, add the butter. Once melted, add the onions, carrots, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the onions and the carrots begin to soften.
  5. Add the beans, ham bone, broth, and water.
  6. Stir in the chopped parsley.
  7. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and simmer the soup for about 1 hour, or until the beans are tender.
  8. Carefully remove the ham bone and pull off any remaining ham.
  9. Stir ham back into pot.
  10. Garnish with parsley. Serve warm.

Notes

  • This soup can be made in a slow cooker if desired.
  • Any leftover ham can be added to enhance the flavor.
  • Adjust seasoning according to taste.
