   This is a family favorite: http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2009/08/end-of-summer-harvest-soup-slow-cooker.html

   I substitute in 1 can of whatever white beans I have on hand – usually either navy or great northern, instead of using the dry white Cannellini beans. I also use green beans instead of the zucchini (since we have a ton of those from our garden) and I add in 2 chicken breasts cut into 1″ chunks.

   I just thought I would add, that we love navy beans as well and they are also great cooked with chunks of ham or a leftover ham bone that has some meat left on it. You cook the same way. I also add garlic and I use a little less water so it’s thicker and we serve it over warm cornbread with butter. I’ve been eating this since I was a kid and it’s a great way to get fiber and a nice warm dish for cold days.

   I admire the post produced through a person and would look for comparable articles through you which would certainly allow us in one or another methods. Thanq

   Do you simmer the beans covered or uncovered?

   I ate this as a kid and loved it. My Mom didn’t use carrots and only put in a small amount of onion and we used ham hocks or ham bones with meat on them or some left over ham if we had any.! It was a great winter meal. Just take some Beano first!

   We also ate it with cornbread. Some of us used butter and some of us used homemade Jelly or Jam. Sorry I forgot to add this.

   My dad made this for us growing up and it’s a favorite with my children today. We start with a generous scoop of chicken fat, bacon fat and diced bacon, then sautee carrots, celery, onion and garlic, add the soaked beans, then finish with chicken stock. I add salt, pepper, oregano, thyme and a bit of cayenne, too! A green salad and good New Orleans-style french bread makes it a meal.

     My favorite part is the bacon fat and diced bacon! I love bacon…

   Re: Crock Pot instructions
   How long would this cook in a crock pot and at what temp?

   Thanks.

     Cook on LOW for about 6 hours. You may need to adjust the time, depending on how high your slow cooker cooks. Thanks!
