Navy Bean Soup in the Crock Pot
"This is my adaptation of a recipe I found in “The Unwatched Pot”. Total comfort food. Everyone in the family likes this one. It freezes very well and is creamier when it thaws."

The recipe doesn't say whether to pre-soak the navy beans or not. I decided to live dangerously and not pre-soak. I cooked the soup longer than the recipe said to (nearly 6 hours on high and an additional 2 hours on low) and found the beans were still a little on the crunchy side, so next time I'll pre-soak. I did not use celery and I used a chicken bouillon cube rather than chicken broth. The soup was good: very little work, inexpensive to make, tasty, and filling. I'll definitely keep this recipe in mind for future use.

Quick, easy and good. I put it on low all day and came home to a yummy soup. I didn't have celery but it tasted good nonetheless. Thanks for sharing. -
I love this filling but hearty recipe. It was easy to make and delicious to eat! -
This is really a great, simple recipe. I came home to a delicious easy meal and I was reminded how much I love my crockpot! I followed the recipe and added 3/4 cup of diced carrots. Also, I was out of chicken stock so I used 1 tsp bouillon and added extra water. Started it about 9:30 am and by 6:00 it was perfect. I cooked it on High until 4:00 then stirred and switched to low. VERY GOOD! Thank you for sharing. -
I didn't quite have all the ingredients this called for. I used a pound of my leftover ham from Easter, instead of sage I used thyme and I only had canned great northern beans. I put it in the crockpot before I went to work and my husband came home to a very easy to make, delicious, dinner. He even had seconds, which he never does. The two of us finished off the whole thing on the same night. The ham added the right amount of salt. Will make this again for sure.

I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
