Crockpot Ham And Bean Soup

Total Time: 8 hrs 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 8 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 1 lb navy beans or 1 lb great northern bean
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 1 cup chopped ham
• 1 bay leaf
• salt and pepper
• water

Recipe

• 1 soak the beans overnight.
• 2 the next morning, after i rinse the beans, i just throw everything in the crockpot, put in enough water to come within an inch of the top of the crock and put it on low for 8 hours or as long as 12 hours. this usually works great in my 3.5 qt crockpot. rethinking this, i realized that everyone doesn't have the same size crockpot that i did, i would suggest adding water to no higher than an inch above the beans.
• 3 remove the bay leaf and serve.
