Very good. I soaked the beans with the ham bone. I also used red beans because that is what I had in the house. I also seasoned with whole cloves and ginger. Yummy. Will make again.

I boil the beans in enough water just to cover them 2x, discarding the water both times. It gets rid of the "gas" without adding extra sodium that using baking soda provides. Then I add enough water for the recipe, bring the beans to a boil, and add the ham bone, or ham hocks, or fried & crumbled bacon if I have no ham. Simmer until beans are just tender. Add the carrots and celery, and also try adding a coarsely diced green pepper; cook about 20 minutes more. Meanwhile, I dice the onion as finely as I have patience to do, and fry it up in bacon grease. When it's tender, I add a mixture of flour (about 1/4 cup), paprika (about 3 TBLS) and lots of black pepper. Add this to the soup, and stir and stir - the flour will just barely thicken the soup. This soup gets raves. Contact me for canning instructions.

The first bean soup I made and it was fantastic. My husband "expected" not to like it and loved it.

Great recipe for Navy Bean soup...I would recommend cutting out the salt. I did and it was perfectly seasoned.

This soup was easy to make and very delicious. I liked it the next day, too, after all flavors had melded together really well.

A great "comfort food" kind of soup! I did increase the veggies and added about 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper for zip. We loved it and will definitely be making it again.

Excellent Recipe to START with. I needed a lot (4 Tb more) of salt than called for. I also added 1 1/2 Tb of ground Corriander to add a sweet wonderful flavor to it. Note: if you're trying to cut down on the fat grams, make sure you take out the bone after 1 1/2 hours to cut off excess fat.

This was fantastic! It smelled so good while it was cooking. Great to make on a cold Winter day. I diced the carrots and left out the celery (I just don't like it) added a dash or 2 of liquid smoke, Served it with Cornbread. Will make this again and again. Thanks for a great recipe!

I'm sorry to say this was a very time-consuming recipe that was definitely not worth the time and effort. I really thought it would taste like my mom's cooking as I remembered her making this dish and loving it as a kid. Not so. I used a nice big hambone and followed the directions carefully. The result was bland, bland, bland. Fortunately my husband will eat anything, so leftovers got frozen and he ate them for lunch. I won't make it again because I don't have a clue how to make it better.

Yowzie, this is a keeper! I made it almost exactly as the recipe states except that I added everything to the beans at the same time. I am hanging my head in shame, but I had thrown out the ham bone before I decided to make this. The ham itself gave it lots of flavour though. I had not presoaked the beans overnight so I did the quick soak thing. They did not soften enough, so I simmered the soup all evening (adding a few cups of chicken broth) and then we had it for dinner tonight. Worth the wait. Thank you!

This was good and easy. My husband ate most of it in two days. He likes it with some tabasco sauce (pretty tasty).

Hubby loved this. I soaked the beans overnight and discarded the water. I used 3 bay leaves as suggested and a lot more carots, celery and onions. More water also. I also added pasta. Very good. I usually make split pea with the left over ham bone. This was a nice change.

I had memories of flavorless bean soup made by friends and family when I was a child. My husband loves it, so I used this recipe to make it. It is delicious! I changed the water after initially cooking the beans and used 8 cups of water. I put in 4 bay leaves and added the onion, carrots and celery right away. Cooked until it was done and then stored in the refrigerator over night for dinner the next day. No need to thicken it. I'll definately be making this again!

I didn't have a bay leaf and my local market had carrots that looked like they had been there for two months, so I left out those ingredients and added extra onions and celery. I also added a bit more water than the recipe called for. Still, it was the best bean soup I have ever eaten. My hubby loved it too!
