Hearty Navy Bean Soup

1. 1

   Rinse and sort beans. Cover with cold water and soak overnight.

2. 2

   Drain beans and place in a large soup kettle or Dutch oven.

3. 3

   Add tomatoes, onions, carrots, celery, ham, broth and water. Bring to a boil.

4. 4

   Reduce heat; cover and simmer until beans are tender, about 1-1/2 hours. Add more water if necessary.

5. 5

   (For a thicker soup, beans may be pureed in a food processor or blender and then returned to the kettle and heated through.) (I used a potato masher and mashed part of the bean mixture to make it thicker).
