How Do You Make Grandmas Navy Bean Soup?
My grandmother’s Navy Bean Soup is very easy to make. It hits all the right spots on a cold fall or winter day. Serve it piping hot on the next cold winter day and enjoy the warmth it brings to every little face at the table. Step 1 Place your navy beans in a pot and let them soak overnight. If you do not plan to eat this soup for lunch, you can soak beans all day if you start early in the morning. Step 2 After your beans have soaked, cover your ham shank with water and let it simmer for several hours. Step 3 Add navy beans, chopped celery, chopped onion and diced tomatoes to the simmering water. Let it cook for at least an hour, or until the vegetables are tender. Step 4 Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with cornbread.
