This navy bean soup recipe is the best use I have ever found for a leftover ham bone! Be sure to save the pan drippings from the cooked ham — chill them so you can remove the fat and use the good-tasting juices to add even more flavor.

Ingredients

1 pound dry navy beans, soaked overnight
4 quarts water
1 pound leftover ham bone with meat attached
1 onion, finely diced
2 carrots, sliced
2 stalks celery, diced
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika

Directions

In a large stockpot, add water, ham bone, and pre-soaked beans. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until beans are nearly soft.
Remove bone and cut off remaining meat. Remove 1/3 of the beans and mash with a potato masher or food processor.
Return ham and beans to the stockpot; add onion, carrots, celery, garlic powder, pepper, and paprika. If you are using dripping from a previously cooked ham add those now. Simmer until vegetables are tender and serve.
