Ingredients
32 oz unsalted chicken broth (reduced salt if unsalted not available.)16 oz water2 cups dried beans (I use a mix of great northern & the mixed beans you can find packaged)1/4 ham steak (or bacon or leave out)about 9 baby carrots, choppedI used a packet of dried soup mix but you could also use a med - lg onion, diced instead ... or even scallions.1 clove garlic - chopped1 whole bay leaf (remove before serving)1 Tbl honey1 Tbl lemon juice1/8 tsp grated nutmeg - less if using dried - I grate my ownabout 4 Tbl chopped parsley (I don't use dry so can't advise on that)
Rinse dry beans.
** Dice onion **(if using raw instead of soup mix)
Dice baby carrotts
Chop parsley (if adding fresh)
Chop garlic
Using 1/4 ham steak or about 4 pcs chopped cooked bacon, put ham steak in whole for now (or) cook bacon & drain grease before adding to soup mix.
Place all ingredients into crock pot (slow cooker) whatever you know it as. Let it cook on high for 6 -8 hours.
When ready to eat, remove ham steak piece & dice. Your choice here - leave it out while you blend soup or put it back into the soup to blended completely with soup.
I use a hand blender & blend ingredients until almost smooth, leaving a few small 'chunks)
