Navy Bean Soup Recipe, Meal in a Pot

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Not your ordinary navy bean soup recipe. With its added savory ingredients, its a meal in a pot. I add sausage and spinach to enrich the flavor of this hearty soup.

My Grandmother used to make this soup with potatoes or ditalini, better known as elbow pasta and dried cranberry beans. It was called, in Italian, pasta e fagioli. But I like the taste and texture of spinach in a soup, so I always add spinach or kale and leave out the pasta and potatoes. 

Navy beans are a very nutritious food. They are very low fat. An excellent source of fiber, protein, iron, folate, thiamin and potassium, to name a few.

This navy bean soup recipe can be a healthy vegan meal also. So, even if you want to leave out the meat, you would certainly still have a tasty and nutrient filled fare.

The navy bean is a small white bean. The bean is used for pork and beans or baked beans. Dried navy beans are available. You can also use pre-cooked canned small white beans. you may find.

When I was young and my friends and I would go to school football games in the winter. I would always beg my Mom to make this soup. I would fill a thermos full of the soup, bring styrofoam cups and we would all share the hot soup throughout the game.

Navy Bean Soup Recipe, Meal in a Pot

If using dried beans, sort through them and wash in a colander. Place beans in a pot covered with water and leave overnight. Make sure that the pot is large enough for the beans to double in size.
Instead of soaking overnight you can use the faster method. After you have sorted and washed the beans, place in a pot with enough water to cover beans. Cover pot and bring to a boil. Remove pot from burner and let it sit for an hour and then proceed with recipe.
