Answer 2

2 pounds navy beans, soaked overnight
2 medium onions, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1/2 pound bacon, chopped
1 smoked ham hock
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons dry mustard
3 tablespoons hot sauce
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Dig a hole in the ground 3 feet deep and line it with rocks. Build a fire in the hole and let it burn down to large embers and ash. (This can take half a day before enough coals are produced to cook the beans properly.).
Put the beans into an 8-quart cast iron pot and add all the other ingredients. Add enough water to cover the beans and give it a good stir. Put the lid on and wrap the edge of the lid with aluminum foil to prevent dirt and ashes from getting into the pot. Place the pot in the hole. Shovel some of the embers and ashes on top of the pot and cover it with dirt. Cook for 6 to 8 hours. Dig up the pot, brush off the dirt and ashes, and remove the lid. Be sure to wear oven mitts or leather gloves, as the pot will still be very hot.
Alternately, the beans can be cooked in a slow cooker for 6 to 8 hours.

or

2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 shallots, chopped
1 sage leaf
2 (15-ounce) cans cannelloni beans, drained and rinsed
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 cloves garlic, cut in 1/2
1/2 cup cream
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 slices ciabatta bread
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling


Place a medium, heavy soup pot over medium heat. Add the butter, olive oil, and shallot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sage and beans and stir to combine. Add the stock and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the garlic and simmer until the garlic is softened, about 10 minutes. Pour the soup into a large bowl. Carefully ladle 1/3 to 1/2 of the soup into a blender and puree until smooth. Be careful to hold the top of the blender tightly, as hot liquids expand when they are blended. Pour the blended soup back into the soup pan. Puree the remaining soup. Once all the soup is blended and back in the soup pan, add the cream and the pepper Keep warm, covered, over very low heat.
Place a grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the slices of ciabatta bread with extra-virgin olive oil. Grill the bread until warm and golden grill marks appear, about 3 minutes a side. Serve the soup in bowls with the grilled bread alongside.

Answer 3

INGREDIENTS:

* 8 cups water
* 1 pound Great Northern beans or navy beans
* 2 cups cubed ham
* 1 ham bone or ham hock, optional
* 1/2 cup chopped onion
* 1/4 teaspoon pepper or to taste
* 1 bay leaf
* 1 carrot, chopped

* 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce

PREPARATION:
Bring water and beans to a boil; boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 1 hour.

Stir in ham, ham bone or hock, pepper, bay leaf, carrot and celery. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until beans are tender (skim foam from top), about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. If soup is too thick, add a little water.
Remove ham bone or ham hock (if used) and trim meat from bone. Return meat to soup with tomato sauce and salt; simmer for about 15 minutes longer. Remove bay leaf.
Ham and bean soup serves 6.

Simmer another hour or until beans are done. Remove the ham bone and cut the meat from the ham bone. Discard bone and add meat to soup. Serve hot.

Answer 5

Hi! I hope you find something you like, and remember that you can add and delete anything you want....make it to suit you.

1 bag northern beans or mixed beans, rinsed and picked over
3 to 4 stalks celery, diced
1 medium onion, diced
3 carrots, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced (or pre chopped about a tablespoon)
1 jalapeno (optional), minced
salt and pepper
6 cups water (plus more on the side)
2 cans chicken or vegetable stock
1 bay leaf
fresh parsley
2 to 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter

Heat the oil and butter in a large pot, add the veggies and saute for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the liquid, beans and bay leaf.
Bring to a boil. Reduce and simmer stirring often to watch for thickness (add water or stock as needed thruout process) for at least 2 hours.

Serve with fresh parsley.

Now if you wanted to add meat, you could use ham chunks and saute with veggies, or shredded cooked chicken could be added at the end. Bacon would also work...

This is a THICK soup, perfect with a crusty bread with melted provolone on it.

Good luck, this is one of our favorite dishes.
