- Serves:

6
ingredients
- 1 lb great northern bean
- 1⁄2 onion, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 cup shredded carrot
- 8 garlic cloves
- 1 cup cubed ham
- 1 bay leaf
- 7 cups water
- 4 teaspoons chicken bouillon
- 1 ham bone
directions
- Rinse and sort thru beans (has anyone ever really found a rock in these?). Cover with water and let sit overnight.
- In the morning, drain water, rinse again and place beans in the crockpot. Dump in all of the other ingredients (except ham bone) and give it a few good stirs.
- Put the ham bone in the crockpot, cover and cook on high for 6-8 hours.
- Remove the bay leaf, ham bone and fish out any bones that may have fallen off during cooking. Stir the beans a few times. Remove 1 cup of the beans and place in a bowl, mash them with a potato masher or back of a spoon, then return to the beans and stir; this helps thicken it up a bit.
- Take off any meat left on the ham bone, chop and return it to the crockpot.
- Stir again and serve!

I love bean soup and I love crock pot cooking, so this combination was a hit with me. I made exactly as written and it turned out perfectly. I liked the consistency of the soup after mashing about 2 cups of the beans and adding them back to the soup. I especially loved the way my house smelled while the soup was simmering in the crock pot. Thanks for another terrific recipe JB. Made for September 2010 Aus/NZ Swap.

One word. Yummy! This is very similar to the recipe my mom used to make while I was growing up. I have been searching forever to try and replicate what she made. The searching is over! The only change I made was leaving out the cubed ham. The ham bone I had was pretty meaty - so left it at that. The boys and I were talking and thought sausage would make a great replacement for the ham. They even said both together! lol We had this with recipe #389019.
