• Or you may sort them and place in a saucepan with 2-inches of water to cover.
• Bring them to a boil, boil for 3 minutes, then cover and remove from heat.
• Allow to sit for one hour after boiling (don't lift the lid).
• Whichever method you use, rinse and drain the beans before placing them in the crock pot.
• Put the rinsed beans, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, parsley, cloves, ham (chopped into large chunks) or ham hocks into the crock pot along with 6 cups water or broth.
• Cover crock, and cook on low for about 8 hours, or until beans are tender and creamy.

CROCK POT BEAN SOUP WITH HAM

HAM AND BEANS (CROCK-POT)

Steps:

• Rinse and sort thru beans (has anyone ever really found a rock in these?). Cover with water and let sit overnight.
• In the morning, drain water, rinse again and place beans in the crockpot. Dump in all of the other ingredients (except ham bone) and give it a few good stirs.
• Put the ham bone in the crockpot, cover and cook on high for 6-8 hours.
• Remove the bay leaf, ham bone and fish out any bones that may have fallen off during cooking. Stir the beans a few times. Remove 1 cup of the beans and place in a bowl, mash them with a potato masher or back of a spoon, then return to the beans and stir; this helps thicken it up a bit.
• Take off any meat left on the ham bone, chop and return it to the crockpot.
• Stir again and serve!

HAM AND GREAT NORTHERN BEAN SOUP FOR THE CROCK POT

Steps:

• Place the soaked and rinsed beans in a 5- or 6-quart crock pot. Look them over one more time for any bad beans or foreign matter.
• Add chopped carrots and onion.
• Pour chicken broth (pan drippings/chicken broth combination if you're using it) over beans, carrots, and onion. Mix gently.
• Add ham and stir again.
• Throw in ground thyme, basil, and ground black pepper. (Measurements in ingredients section are a guesstimate, I hardly ever use measuring spoons when cooking, I just make a cup in my hand and eyeball it.) To my tastebuds, a little thyme goes a long way so you may wish to add more than 1/2 teaspoon. Stir again.
• Add bay leaf and push it gently under the surface of the broth so it doesn't float.
• Cook on high for 1 hour, then low for 8 hours, stirring once in a while if you can. You could probably just cook on low for 8-9 hours if there's nobody home to change the setting. I just like to get things heated up and moving so I do high for an hour on just about everything I put in a Crock Pot.
• Remove the bay leaf.
• Add salt just before serving to the whole pot or individual bowls.
• This may taste good with a drop of Dijon mustard in individual bowls or even a tablespoon or two of cream.
• If it's too thin, just take the lid off for a while.
