This is a simple, basic bean soup. It's very easy to assemble, and it tastes great, too! Try adding other vegetables, if desired.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound dry great Northern beans
  • 8 cups water
  • 12 babys carrots
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 0.5 pounds chopped ham
  • 0.25 cups ketchup
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the beans with the water, cover and let soak overnight.

  2. 2

    In a large pot over medium high heat, combine the soaked beans with water, carrots, onion and ham. Add more water to cover all, if necessary. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 4 to 6 hours. Add ketchup just to get desired color. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
