I just finished cooking this delicious navy bean soup. I made my homemade turkey stock, which I make from bones I roasted for 1 hr 40 minutes, then simmered for 3 hours (with all the usual aromatics and miropoix the day before-- I also threw in a cornish hen to round out the flavor of the stock. The result was a rich, dark, gelatinous stock with a cream on top. Added this to my beans today with a couple stalks of thinly sliced celery. I used a small daisy ham butt, cubed for my meat. I will tell you this, there is nothing that compares to soups and gravies made from a homemade roasted bone stock. Makes you hum while you eat. Served with cornbread. Emeril is one of my top chefs. Once again, I love you E!

Delicious! Hearty enough for a meal, great flavors. I used a combination of spicy and mild Italian sausage, removed from the casing, so I omitted the cayenne. The spicy Italian added just the right amount of heat for us (my husband is not a big fan of very spicy food. I have made a soup similar to this in the past that had kale in it so I threw in a bunch right near the end. Will definitely make this again!

This was very good soup!! I actually sauteed sausage, onions and garlic then added all ingredients to crock pot and let it cook slowly all day. Very delicious. My teenage kids are not keen on trying new dishes, but they loved this.

I had prepared the beans in the slow cooker a couple days before, which was nice, so I could just throw them in the pot and get cooking! I used four chicken bouillon cubes instead of stock, a ham hock instead of the sausage (which I took out, dismantled and put the meat back in, powdered garlic, and instant minced onions. My husband loved it, my teenage daughter traded in her Taco Bell in for the soup, and even my 9 year old, who initially deemed it "gross", LOVED IT! Served with a baked loaf of artisan garlic bread, a great touch. Looking forward to making this again.

Made this last night - instead of sliced sausage we used ground sausage. It was fantastic, but a bit salty, though we did not add any salt besides in the broth and sausage. I would dilute the broth next time but I will definitely make it again. My husband doesn't even really like soups but he scarfed down 3 bowls of this, and my 6yo wanted seconds.

I made this soup a few days ago and it was yummy! I used 6 cans of Great Northern Beans (rinsed and drained to speed up the cooking time. If you use canned, then you'll only need 3 cups of chicken stock and no water since the beans are already cooked. I also used dried thyme bc that's what I had. I used maybe 1/8 tsp which isn't much. You can adjust for taste. And I used 1 1/2 large onions bc we love onion. Overall, this soup is wonderful on a cold winter day. Thanks Emeril!!

This dish was superb! I couldn't find any bread bowls, because you have to order them from a bakery several days in advance. So I used a nice crusty french bread. I also tweeked the recipe and used smoke turkey sausage instead of pork. My kids, and my father enjoyed it!

I love ham & bean soup, but it never had enough flavor. I fixed this the other night figuring I would give the left overs to my daughter & husband. There were no leftovers. My husband said it was the best I ever made. I subed
the sausage for a giant ham bone and it was wonderful! This is now my only bean soup recipe!!

I used my own chicken stock (Ina Garten's recipe and the difference between that and store bought is huge. This soup is delicious; an instant hit.
