Slow Cooker Ham Bone and Navy Bean Soup is so easy to make and will warm you from the inside out on the coldest winter days.
I’m just going to say it, this is not fancy food. What this slow cooker ham bone and navy bean soup is, is good, down-home comfort food. The kind of food that will warm you up on a cold winter day and make you feel all homey and good.
On another note, I’m really excited today, because this is that last day for 12 glorious days that I will be craving this kind of warm-you-from-the-inside kind of comfort food. Tomorrow, Steve and I are flying down to Florida and on Friday we set sail from Ft. Lauderdale for 11 sun-filled days in the Caribbean….SQUEEEEE!!!
Can you tell I’m a little bit excited?? YAY for warm weather vacations, I’m so ready for a break from the cold weather.
That also means that I will be MIA from Lisa’s Dinnertime Dish for a little while, but don’t worry, I’ll be back with more yummy food before you know it. You can follow me on Instagram at @lisasdinnertimedish if you want to see what I’m up to while I’m on vacation.
Alrighty, let’s get back to this slow cooker ham bone and navy bean soup. The slow cooker makes this so incredibly easy. All you do is chop up your veggies, add everything to the slow cooker and let it work its magic.
The ham bone creates a deliciously flavorful stock and a quick puree with an immersion blender thickens it up beautifully. I bought a smoked ham shank for this, but a ham bone from a leftover ham works equally as well.
Once it’s done it’s thing in the slow cooker, you end up with a deliciously rich and thick soup that’s so full of flavor. It’s total comfort food and will definitely warm you up from the inside out.

I made this and did a few changes. I used 6 cups of chicken broth, not 9 cups of water. This way it was plenty thick, did not need to be puréed and did not need any additional salt. I also added 3 carrots instead of 2, and 4 cloves of garlic instead of 2. Regarding the fresh herbs, I did not bundle them but pulled off the thyme leaves and parsley leaves, discarding the stems, and just threw them all in the pot. I added 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to help soften the beans and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes to add a little dimension to the soup. I cooked the whole thing on low for 8 hours (as I only had time to soak the beans in salted water for a couple of hours.) It was delicious!
