Tempt My Tummy Tuesday - Ham Bone & Bean Soup (Crock Pot)

Ok I admit it I'm bad and always throw the ham bone out. I have a thing about bones they make me want to gag! So when I was told why don't I make a soup with it, I gave them hello do you want me to gag? So being the frugal person I am thinking I'm missing out a meal, ok I'll control my gag reflexs and make it. I'm actually pretty impressed, so I bow down and fall on my sword! Enjoy :)


The ingredetants
Ham in the crock pot
Yup got the liner in!
Add washed beans & Garlic
Add water Add Lemon Juice
Add Honey
Taster and the lemon spoon! LOL
Add Pepper
Add Salt
Add Bay Leaf
Add Onion
Mix and let it go for 10-12 hours on low.
Come home and it's done!
Easy to pull bones out, meat just fell off.
Dish up and you're done!
1 ham bone (with sm. amt. ham still on)
2 c. Navy beans or mixed beans
8 c. water (3 c. more may be added, after bone is taken out, then cook some more)
1 clove garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp. garlic powder)
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. honey
1 bay leaf
1 lg. onion, chopped
Salt & pepper, to taste


Wash beans. Put everything in crock pot along with ham bone (that has small amount of ham still on). Start cooking at high (I usually start it in the evening) and after it starts cooking, turn to simmer. (I cook it all night and until serving time at noon or even later.) I usually remove the bone in the early morning and add more water. Remove bay leaf before serving.
