Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound white northern beans rinsed
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 2-3 cups chopped ham cooked
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp celery salt
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 4 cups water

Instructions

Crockpot

  • Turn on the crockpot to low and add in all the ingredients. Cook on low for 12 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Tip: To cook these beans quicker, you can also soak your beans in water overnight and this would cut the cooking time to 6-7 hours. 

Instant Pot

  • Turn the pressure cooker to "saute" and add the oil. Once hot, add in the chopped onions and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the beans to the pressure cooker along with the chicken broth, water, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and celery salt. 
  • Turn the pressure cooker off. Put on the lid and set the vent to "sealing." Set the pressure cooker to "high pressure" for 45 minutes. Once the soup has reached pressure and cooked for 45 minutes, allow the pressure to release naturally. This takes about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the lid carefully and stir in the diced ham and more salt and pepper to taste. Stir well and let sit for 10 minutes to allow the ham to get warm.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!
