COMFORT FOOD RECIPES


Recipe: Navy Beans and Ham Soup
by Cindy @mycountrytable


Okay, what could be better than a good hot bowl perfectly cooked and seasoned navy beans….oh, I know, a good hot bowl of perfectly cooked and seasoned navy beans with some good cornbread or corn muffins on the side. I think the two should be married!

Navy Beans and Ham is pure comfort food, and it’s one of my favorites in the winter months. It’s also an easy and filling meal.


    Ingredients:
  • 1 large bag (32 ounces) or 2 small bags (16 ounces) dried navy beans
  • 2 ham shanks with bones, or one cottage ham
  • Bacon pieces, optional
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 packet of Pioneer Brand peppered gravy mix

    Preparation Instructions:
  • Place the dry beans in a pan and sift through them with your hands. Discard any beans that look bad.
  • Run two inches of water over the beans and leave the beans to soak overnight, at least 8 hours.
  • Drain the water from the beans. Sift through the beans one more time to check for bad ones.
  • Removing the gas (optional): Place the beans in a large pot. Cover with one inch of water, and add the baking soda. Bring to a boil over high heat. Watch carefully!! The water will become foamy and start to rise quickly. When this happens, remove the pot from the heat. Rinse the beans thoroughly under cold water and return to the pot.
  • Dice the ham up into bite size pieces and add to the beans. Add bacon pieces if desired. Dice up the onion and add in, then the bay leaf. Cover the beans with three inches of water and add the salt and pepper.
  • Place the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours, until the beans are very tender. Remove the bay leaf. Add the gravy mix and simmer for an additional fifteen minutes.
