HAM AND GREAT NORTHERN BEAN SOUP FOR THE CROCK POT RECIPE ...

Ham and Great Northern Bean Soup for the Crock Pot Recipe ... image

Title says it all. Put this it together using a little bit from this recipe and a little bit from that recipe but mostly suggestions from my Mom. Tip I learned from someone else on Zaar was to add the salt at the very end of the cooking time, otherwise the beans get tough. You could also add 3/4 cup celery if you like celery in your soup, or saute the carrots and onion before putting them in the Crock Pot if you like the flavor from that, too.

Total Time 8 hours 20 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 8 hours

Yield 8 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 lb dried great northern beans, separated, soaked, and rinsed
3/4 cup carrot, chopped
1/2 cup onion, chopped
6 cups chicken broth (or substitute 2 cups of pan drippings if you have them, so 2 cups ham drippings and 4 cups chicken b)
2 cups cooked ham, diced or shredded
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme (or more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon basil (or more to taste)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
salt (I use sea salt)

Steps:

Place the soaked and rinsed beans in a 5- or 6-quart crock pot. Look them over one more time for any bad beans or foreign matter.
Add chopped carrots and onion.
Pour chicken broth (pan drippings/chicken broth combination if you're using it) over beans, carrots, and onion. Mix gently.
Add ham and stir again.
Throw in ground thyme, basil, and ground black pepper. (Measurements in ingredients section are a guesstimate, I hardly ever use measuring spoons when cooking, I just make a cup in my hand and eyeball it.) To my tastebuds, a little thyme goes a long way so you may wish to add more than 1/2 teaspoon. Stir again.
Add bay leaf and push it gently under the surface of the broth so it doesn't float.
Cook on high for 1 hour, then low for 8 hours, stirring once in a while if you can. You could probably just cook on low for 8-9 hours if there's nobody home to change the setting. I just like to get things heated up and moving so I do high for an hour on just about everything I put in a Crock Pot.
Remove the bay leaf.
Add salt just before serving to the whole pot or individual bowls.
This may taste good with a drop of Dijon mustard in individual bowls or even a tablespoon or two of cream.
If it's too thin, just take the lid off for a while.

Great Northern Bean Soup Recipe - Food.com image

This soup is GREAT comfort food! Hearty and satisfying, and perfect for a cold autumn or winter's day. I like to serve this family favorite soup steaming hot with warm cornbread or a crusty French bread and fresh butter. Enjoy! Tip: Leftovers freeze and reheat beautifully.

Total Time 4 hours 20 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 4 hours

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

10 cups water
1 lb dried great northern beans (about 2 cups)
2 bay leaves
1 large onion, roughly chopped
1/2 lb bacon, diced (or ham, etc.)
1 lb whole tiny potato, unpeeled
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
3 tablespoons instant beef bouillon (I used Herb Ox)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 garlic cloves, mashed
4 carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 stalks celery, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk

Steps:

Rinse and drain beans.
Heat water, beans, bay leaves, onion, bacon and potatoes to boiling in 8-qt. stock pot; boil 2 minutes. Turn off heat, cover, and let stand 1 hour.
Add tomato sauce, instant bouillon, salt, pepper, garlic and half of the carrots and celery to beans. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer until beans are tender, about 2 hours (do not boil or beans will burst).
Stir remaining carrots and celery into soup. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 1 hour. Stir in additional 1 or 2 cups water for thinner consistency.
Using a slotted spoon and a wooden spoon, scoop potatoes against inside of pot and smash them, letting smashed potatoes drop back into the soup.
Stir in butter and milk and serve immediately.
