Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Beans

    Rinse the dried navy beans under cold water. Place them in a large bowl, cover with water, and soak for at least 8 hours or overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare Vegetables

    Chop the onion, dice the carrot and celery, and mince the garlic. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Beans

    Drain the soaked beans and place them in a large pot. Add the ham hock, chicken broth, bay leaves, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour.

  2. 4

    Add Vegetables

    After 1 hour, add the chopped onion, diced carrot, diced celery, and minced garlic to the pot. Stir to combine and continue to simmer for another 30-40 minutes or until the beans are tender.

  3. 5

    Season and Serve

    Once the beans are tender, remove the ham hock from the pot. Shred any meat from the hock and return it to the pot. Season with salt to taste. Remove bay leaves before serving.

Garnishing

  1. 6

    Add Garnishes

    Serve the ham and bean soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and a dash of hot sauce, if desired.
