For the Beans:

  • 1 pound dried white navy beans
  • Pinch of baking soda

For the Soup:

  • 2 meaty smoked ham hocks (pastured preferred)
  • 8 cups chicken stock
  • 6 ribs celery, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 6 carrots, cut into 1/2”-thick coins
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 10 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 teaspoons Celtic sea salt

Instructions

  1. The night before, place the white beans in a large bowl and cover with water. Stir in a pinch of baking soda.
  2. The next day, drain and rinse the beans and then place them in a slow cooker. Add the ham hocks, chicken stock, celery, carrots, onion, garlic, and thyme in the slow cooker and stir to combine. Cover and cook for about 6 hours on low until the beans are tender.
  3. Using a pair of tongs, remove the thyme and ham hocks. Shred the ham and return it back to the slow cooker. Stir in the salt, taste and add more if needed. Serve.
