I love this recipe.
It speaks words of warmth and  comfort.
Enjoy.

Navy Bean Soup

1lb. dry navy beans
2 qts water
pepper
1 garlic clove or 2 tsp. garlic salt
2 medium onions; diced
1/2 oregano
(I also add 1 ham hock)
Combine ingredients and bring to a boil.  Simmer all day or overnight in the oven at 300 degrees.
(DO NOT add salt in this first part of cooking.  It inhibits the beans from cooking)


Then add:
2 cups ham pieces
1/2 lb.  cut cooked bacon
1/2 c. BBQ sauce
3 T. brown sugar (I like DARK)
1 t. salt
pinch of powederd ginger
1 carrot-grated
Add more water if needed.
Cook 2-3 hours more until all flavors are blended.
