Amish Bean Soup
submitted by Chickie
1 lb (2 cups) navy beans, dried
2 1/2 quarts water
1 meaty ham bone -- 1 1/2 Lbs
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small bay leaf
1 cup cubed potatoes
1 cup celery, thinly sliced
1 cup onion, finely chopped
1 cup carrots, cubed
Salt and pepper to taste
Boil the beans in the water for 2 minutes before removing them from the heat to
let stand for 1 hour. Then add the ham bone, garlic and bay leaf to the beans,
and cover and simmer them for 2 hours or until the ingredients are almost
tender. Add the vegetables and salt and pepper to taste, and simmer them for 1
hour longer. Remove the ham bone, cut off the meat and dice it to add to the
beans.
Reheat the soup almost to boiling, then remove the bay leaf.
