In the process of making this one.

Anyone have a favorite that you would like to share?

It’s my favorite soup. The Chiefs Club at Whidbey used to make one every Tuesday that was killer.

It was good, just not as creamy as the clubs. Maybe I’ll add cream/sour cream next time.🤔

History Time Why is it called Navy Bean soup?
The small, white, and economical Pea Bean or Haricot provided a very filling, and nutritious protein during times of food rationing.  Over time the pea beans also came to be widely known as Navy Beans because they were such a staple in the U.S. Naval diet during the second half of the 19th Century. The Navy’s original soup was called Bean Soup and this soup was served regularly to Navy members during World War II. Their original recipe called for the use of ham stock instead of chicken broth.

My go to,

Senate Bean Soup (The Official Recipe)
Senate Bean Soup is a historic recipe that's always on the Senate menu for a reason. With not much more than navy beans, a ham hock, and water, you can have one of the country's most satisfying, and famous, ham and bean soups.
Prep Time
15minutes mins
Cook Time
3hours hrs 30minutes mins
Servings: 4 people
 Email
Ingredients
1 pound dry navy beans
3/4 pound smoked ham hock
2 quarts cold water
1/2 teaspoon baking soda (optional, but I recommend as it will help the beans soften)
1 onion, diced
1 tablespoon butter
kosher salt, to taste (I do about 2 teaspoons)
fresh black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Rinse the navy beans and pick over. Place beans into large pot with the ham hock and two quarts of cold water and the baking soda, if using.
PRO TIP: Baking soda is not part of the official recipe, but it is my secret weapon when cooking dried beans. The alkaline pH helps soften the beans' tough exterior and helps speed cooking a bit.
Bring just to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook for approximately three hours (yep) in a covered pot with the lid barely cracked, stirring occasionally, until the beans have fully softened.
TIP: The water quantity should be accurate, but If the pot of beans starts to look a little dry, add more water until you have a very thick, creamy soup consistency.
Remove the ham hock and set it aside on a dish to cool. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until translucent and lightly brown. (Mmm..butter and onions. Doesn't that smell good?) Add the diced, buttery onion to the soup.
Pull meat from the ham hock into bite-sized pieces and return the meat to soup. Stir. Discard the picked-over ham bone.
Before serving, bring the soup to a boil and season with salt and pepper. Serve on its own or with a nice green salad to complement the richness of the soup.
Notes
This Senate Bean Soup recipe is based on the original. The ingredients and quantities are exactly the same, with the addition of a little optional baking soda to help soften the beans and speed the cooking a bit.
This soup will keep in the fridge for up to three days, and freezes well.
