(INSTANT POT AND STOVE TOP INSTRUCTIONS)
prep time: 5 MINS total time: 1 HR 45 MINS
1 Ham Bone with meat on it 12 ounces Ham, cubed (optional see notes) 16 ounces Dried Navy beans 8 cups Water
Ingredients
Prepare beans. Wash and rinse beans.
Add to Instant Pot. Place beans, ham bone, cubed ham, and water in the Instant Pot.
Cook. Lock lid into place and turn the valve to SEALING. Set to HIGH pressure 90 minutes. When the timer goes off press cancel and do a natural release for 15 minutes.
Release. Turn the valve to release the remaining pressure, remove lid, and remove the ham bone, pulling any excess meat off of the bone before disposing of it.
Serve. Ladle ham and bean soup into a bowl and serve with a slice of cornbread or some collard greens.
DO I HAVE TO USE A HAM BONE? While a ham bone gives this soup lots and lots of flavor if you don’t have one and you’re craving a hot bowl of Navy Bean Soup you can buy a small boneless ham and cut it up to add to the soup. I also add extra ham when the ham bone I am using doesn’t have a lot of extra meat on it. Feel free to add more ham or use less depending on how “meaty” your ham bone is.
