Crockpot Great Northern Beans

 

Ingredients:

 

1 lb great northern beans (or any white bean you like)

1 onion, chopped

2 carrots, chopped

2 ribs celery, chopped

4 cloves of garlic, chopped

2 heaping tablespoons of vegetable bouillon seasoning (my favorite is Morga)

1 bay leaf

¼ cup olive oil

1-2 tablespoons butter

salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Night before: Sort, wash and cover beans with water to soak. Chop onion,

carrots, celery & garlic and store them in the fridge until morning. The

vegie amounts are suggestions - if you like one more than other add more -

like less then add less.

 

In the morning: Rinse beans. Add to crockpot with veggies, bay leaf,

vegetable seasoning, butter and olive oil. Cover with about an inch of

water. Turn crockpot on low and cook all day. You might find that you need

to add a little more water toward the end on the cooking process so if you

can't get home during the day to check you might want to add a little more

water in the beginning.

 

Just before serving - take out about a cup of beans and puree' in a food

processor and stir back into crockpot. This process will help thicken the

soup. Salt and pepper to taste & enjoy!

 

Serves: 6

 

Preparation time: 8-10 hours

 

Happy Cooking!
