Senate Bean Soup
The name of this soup comes from the story that is is actually served in the Senate cafeteria almost every day. If it’s served EVERY DAY, I’m guessing it must be good. I’ve made this numerous times and I’d have to agree; it is a lovely soup. Served with cornbread or just by itself, it is pure comfort food. You can easily cook this in a slow cooker and, if it’s during warm weather months, feel free to plug the slow cooker in outside (porch, garage, patio….wherever!) so it doesn’t get in a fight with your air conditioner.
Senate Bean Soup
1 pound dry navy beans (around 2 cups)
1 c chopped celery
1 c chopped onion
1/2 c grated sweet carrot
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 ham hock (uncured) or a cup of uncured smoked ham (the lunchmeat kind)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
Rinse navy beans in a colander just to make sure no debris or dirt remains on them. Place beans, celery, onion, carrot, garlic and ham hock (or ham) in a Dutch oven (or slow cooker) along with enough water to cover everything plus about 1/2” deep. Over high heat, bring ingredients to a boil then reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and cook until beans are tender, which will take around 2 hours. Add salt and pepper before serving. Enjoy!

Recipe - Senate Navy Bean Soup
INGREDIENTS:
●The first and the most simple recipe online for Senate bean soup, is one I found from Congress Cooks , but the recipe lacked a lot of vital detail, here is my adaptation of their recipe that is more descriptive. This soup is simple cooking at its best, you don't need to do anything complex with this recipe at all. The ham hock will provide most of the flavoring, so don't be worried about any complex spices.
●Senate Bean Soup
●Yield: 12-16 servings.
●2 pounds dry small navy beans
●1 1/2 pounds smoked ham hocks
●1 tablespoon butter
●salt and pepper to taste
●While I find that simple recipe for Senate Navy Bean Soup to be quite good, I like to add just a couple more ingredients to my soups. For me a soup needs onion, celery, and carrot for it to taste just right, and so I added an extra ingredient or two to my version of the Senate Navy Bean Soup.
●CopyKat.com's U.S. Senate Navy Bean Soup
●4 to 6 servings.
●1 pound dry navy beans
●1 smoked ham hock
●1 cup chopped onion

Senate Bean Soup Pressure Cooker Recipe ~ Noreen's Kitchen
We had a lot of ham left from a meal a couple of weeks ago so we decided to make some senate bean soup in the pressure cooker. This is super easy and you are going to love it!
We started with cooking some beans in the pressure cooker and then moving on with the soup as demonstrated. You can cook your own beans, use canned beans or even throw everything into the pot at once and slow cook this if you wish.
You don't have to have a pressure cooker to make this soup. It can be made on the stove top or in the crock pot or slow cooker just as easily. However I would not add the potatoes at the beginning or you will end up with mush. Add those just about 20 minutes before you intend to serve and everything should be done to perfection!
I hope you give this soup a try and I hope you love it!
Happy Eating!
