- Happy 245th Birthday Navy. Mike The Stewburner a retired Navy Chief, whips up this classic Navy Bean Soup as a tribute to the US Navy's 245th Birthday. Go Navy Beat Army!
My dad was a Korean War vet. He loved Navy Bean soup so mom liked to make it for him. I miss them both and have a ham bone left over from Easter so I decided to make some. Thx for your video and your service.
My daughter is currently serving in the Army just like her grandpa.
Thanks for the view
Just take a spoon and mash some of the beans against the side of the pot and stir, keep doing this until it's the thickness you desire. No need to add flour. Thanks for sharing Sailor! Semper Fi! USMC 32 yrs and going.

Yup that's what my dad always did. He grew up poor in 40s and made the best bean ham hock soup ever I sure miss that mam.
Yes use the beans to create the thickening of the soup.
It makes it very unhealthy using all that white flour. If you smash a little bit of the beans, you’ll get the same affect without adding all those calories and spikes to your blood sugar and inflammation fiends and it also taste so much better because the flour doesn’t really get cooked very well. It’s just a step that’s unnecessary, and it takes a very healthy dish and makes it unhealthy. White flour, white bread, white sugar, and white rice causes morbid obesity. Navy bean soup is one of the most healthy things someone can eat and prepare properly, and it’s a delicious as you show! You can also chop up a little ham and put it in there. Good job! I was put in a teaspoon of better than bullion, or throw in some of my frozen chicken bones that I’ve saved. Not for a heavy flavoring, but it does add a little some thing. I save all my bones from all meat that’s cooked in my house freeze them separately and use them to flavor soups and sauces. Bombs can be cooked twice.
Thank you, Soldier and all veterans for your dedication and service, putting your lives on the line for the USA citizens.❤️

After I saw a number of videos to know how to cook navy beans for an american friend, your video was the one I liked the most; and, gladly, my friend really liked them, and so did I. God bless you, and Happy 247th Birthday, Dear Navy!
Thanks for the view and so glad to hear yours turned out well.
My Dad was in the Korean War....I'm an Army brat but I still love me some Navy Bean Soup. My first boil is more like 15-20 min. I've heard salt & oil/fat can harden the skin if put in too early before they are tender......I saute my veggies in either some left over Bacon fat or Olive Oil. Then I deglaze the saute pan with a little (1/2 cup) water, broth or wine.....Then I put everything in my crock pot....2 hours on high...then put on low for 3-4 more hours...I also puree (blender or stick blender) about a cup of cooked beans and add back into the pot to thicken it up.......If too thick, add a splash of milk or cream.....chopped bacon and chives are great garnishes. This soup is amazing !
Thank you for the view
4 Years on board the USS Forrestal, Navy Bean soup was available 24 hrs. a day when we were at sea. Quick satisfying meal on the go, just put in a cup, grab some cornbread and go. Sometimes we didn't have time for standing in line and this was a go to for the flight deck crew.
Thanks for the view and thanks for your service
I just made a huge batch of Senate bean soup this afternoon. :-) I was always the family soup maker sauce maker and baker. Whenever anybody wanted one of those three they always said call Liz she'll make it for you! I did.
It can't be said enough, thank you Mike for your service to our great country!
Thank you for taking us all to school about authentic US Navy Bean soup!
A Merry Christmas to you and yours! Cheers and God bless!
made this, absolutely brought me back 50 years to when I was in the service. Thanks Chief just beautiful.
Thank you for the view
One of my roommates in the Army was a cook. Has to be the hardest job in any branch.
I wouldn't say it's the hardest job but it is by far one of the more thankless jobs...ships cooks are always working hard to take care of and please the crew... my bucket list item is to take a cruise and have someone take care of me at sea. LOL
Happy birthday to the navy’s personnel! Navy Veteran myself from 1968 - 1974.
Thank you Sir. Hope your enjoying a delicious bowl of homemade Navy bean and ham soup. ☺️
34 year Navy Vet. Loved the video! Nothing like a pot of good Navy bean soup 🍜
Thanks for viewing. You got that right!!! Please share.
I prep all ingredients the night before. I use 1 bone in ham steak small diced, 4 carrots, 4 stalks of celery and 4 gold potato (two of each, small diced and two shredded), one large sweet onion (small diced), 4 cans of navy beans (beans and juice), 1 Tbsp ham bullion, 1 tsp thyme, 2 Tbsp parsley and 6 cups of water. (I add 2 cans of Cannellini beans for an 8 cup batch) I cook the ham and bone then add the rest of the ingredients and bring the mix to a rolling boil for 10 minutes. I reduce the heat to a medium simmer and simmer for 4 hours.
Who cares?
Hey, Chief- thanks for your recipe. Got my NAVY beans on the stove now, & will be following your instructions to a T! Would have loved to be in your goat locker when I was AD. Retired in 91.
Thanks for the view shipmate
Haven't tried to soup yet, it's been too hot here in Tennessee, but just wanted to thank you for your service to this great country! 🇺🇸
Thank you Warren
Two years on board _Hornet_ as ship's company. Three great meals a day every day, lunch and dinner always soup available to put in a bowl and put on your steel tray and continue down the line: mashed potatoes, Roast beef, vegetables, bread, crackers, fill the tray up and chow down. (I think today the steel trays and china bowls have been replaced with stryrofoam.
Thanks so much for the view and your service!!!!

I’m making these today, reminiscent of our traditional boiled beans, with liquor from salt meat…Newfoundland style. I’m just going to add diced cabbage, turnip (rutabaga), and some carrot. I hope it turns out good.

My father was WWII, gunner's mate in the north atlantic. Have a good friend who is a Seabee and she just left this week for her year... In Somalia, we think. My husband was searching bean and ham soup and voila! Yours came up and he shared it to me. I watched it and I told him I thought you were from PA... Just heard a word or two every once in a while. We are from Pgh area but living in NC.
Thank you so much for your comment and a BIG thanks to your Dad for his service.
“Navy soup land”. Lolol. Thanks for sharing
Sir, I tried this recipe and it's the best Navy Bean Soup I ever ate. I didn't use a thickener. I steeped it for a while and it thickened on its own. Thank you so much for sharing this awesome recipe.
Cooks are underrated. Had a sergeant in the corps who would make the best field eggs. Imagination goes a long way and really impacts troop morale. Good stuff
Btw take you cover off inside!!! ;)
Yeppers imagination goes a long way. Regarding cover inside...cooks wear covers inside while cooking.
I love bean soup to and I make all different kinds even 16 bean soup. Yours looks delicious

Thanks, chief! I was in the Norwegian Navy and we had a totally different bean soup recipe called kjellbønne which was fortified by mutton. I like yours better!

You can Thicken soups or anything with instant mashed potato flakes, doesn't change the taste!! Great hack 😊
Thanks for the view and suggestion.
G-d Bless all the good folks who serve

Thank you for speedy rough chop, some do this so boring
I made Navy Bean Soup a few days ago. One of the best things I've ever cooked ... just finished off the left overs last night. We love it. (even though I was Air Force!) :) Only difference was I had a piece of ham I used in it ... didn't have a hock. I also added a little minced garlic and did not thicken it. I'll try the thickening next time. Thanks for the video.
Go Navy
Great video Brother,, making this tomorrow,, hope all is well..
Thanks for the view Shipmate!!
looks good
I find it unnecessary to do two cooks with the beans. I soak them for 24 hours, drain and rinse them and put them in the soup pot with everything else. It works very well and my soup is beautiful! :-). I was lucky enough to have fresh thyme today . I didn't need to add any salt because my ham hocks were salty enough. My dad was in the Navy and he was my hero. :-) I use my immersion blender and beat up some of the beans I would never use a flour thickener with this soup it simply is unnecessary. In fact I have also been known to grab a can of navy beans and with those up and add them in.
It's cold here in Los Angeles today so I am making this soup!!!! Thank you for reminding me how delicious it tastes! The only thing different that I do is use low sodium chicken broth instead of water. It adds a ton of flavor either way it's fantastic!!! Happy New Year to you and yours Sir! Thank you very much!
Instead of adding flour to thicken, blend up some of the beans and return them to the pot! Instant thickener!
Very good point and highly recommend blending vs the slurry
Great idea Cuke61 55 ... I'm trying it that way today in mine! *Thanks* :)
Another suggestion: Adjust the bean-to-water ratio and/or use split yellow peas for a thicker base. Besides, you do not want to eat raw flour. The 'slurry' should actually be cooked for awhile after adding to soup.
Tks.........
Maybe use a stick blender and grind up some of the beans, that will thicken up the soup as well..😊 good video!
Thanks for the view.
My dad was Navy during the Korean War.
I thank your Dad for his service.
Happy new year to you! Very lovely recipe and lovely kitchen !
Happy Birthday Navy Vets!
Thanks for the video and thanks for your service to our country.
Thank you for your service and I bet your mates loved you as their cook.
I loved cooking for them. Such a rewarding Navy Job. It had its side benefits.
You can also Mash or blend some of your beans to thicken the soup. This doesn't have enough vegetables for me and it's a pretty small pot of soup for a pound of beans. It's all that I have to lb of beans that have been soaking overnight to make homemade BBQ baked beans. I also make navy bean soup but it has more ingredients than this and it makes more soap so that I can freeze some. I'm disabled and if I don't have a caregiver on a certain day or time I can pull out what I would like to eat from my freezer. :-)
I normally double what I made in the video. Its what's so good about recipes. Just adjust the quantities depending if you want more or less.
My mother always added some potatoes along with the carrots, celery and onion.
air force vet will make navy bean soup soon, thnx.
This is what's cooking in my kitchen today. Gotta keep my hard working hubby warm on this cool rainy November day. Cheers from Canada.
That will definitely do the job!
This is my fathers favorite beans. I'm gonna make this today on New Years Eve 2021. I even smoked some ham bone to go in it.
Hail USN!
This is my late first generation Mum from Austria favorite soup.
Can you make a delicious lentil soup?
Thanks for the view. Here is a link to my Tuscan Lentil Soup. czcams.com/video/QS4aF43yuiY/video.htmlsi=gzNWWsKClkBRzgTQ
Just take some of the beans and mash them up into a rue
Thanks for the view
I just looked at 10 recipes for ham and navy bean soup and you're the first that actually used raw beans. You the da man. Even that Ramsey guy used canned beans 🤣 I've got a food freeze dryer. Celery, onions, basil, parsley, Rosemary, carrots and garlic of the freeze dried variety. Did use a can of Campbell's cream of celery soup. I prefer smoked bacon ends.
When I make bean soups I like to use an immersion blender and blend it slightly to thicken up. No flour needed.
Whenever I make soup that requires ham I use pulled pork. Less fat plus I'm getting lazy. I'm making this soup ASAP. Do you have a receipt for that red Navy SOS they used to serve over toast? I loved that stuff. US Navy 1962-1966.
Nice idea. Regarding SOS...I have a vid covering that as well. Easy peasy!!!
I’m going to add some potatoes too - don’t have “tyme” is that ok .
Indeed it's OK.
That's how to thicken it
Thanks for the view
Nice. Go Navy, Go Army, .. Go servicemen and women esp. during these crazy times! :)
What is the difference between using dried beans and canned beans?
Instead of the slurry of flour, you can remove about a cup or two of the beans and emulsify them in a blender, then add it back.
The biggest difference will be time. More time required for the dried beans. However, dried beans will yield better flavor results as well as texture. Canned beans tend to have a tin taste and much softer in texture.
Hello Mike, I don't have an Induction Heater and I'm sure that some other folks that don't have one either. Could you give some instructions on what differences there would be if we were to use a stove and a regular pot with a lid? I'm thinking that we would just always cook when the water is simmering. So can we adjust our stove so the water in the pot is simmering for all of the cooking steps?
Just use your stove top and watch your temp. Thanks for the view
I'm waiting for someone to come up with an Army Bean soup . ? So what does the Swiss Navy make for the sailors?
Thanks for the view
Have you ever thickened soup with instant mashed potatoes?
I have not but have heard of it
Of course the Air Force knows what beans are. Its what they spends all day counting.
LOL
hooyah
You also run the risk with the slurry of having lumps like little tiny dumplings in the soup. If I were going to thicken my soup I would use a roux that I made before. I make a giant batch of roux and keep it in my refrigerator. It lasts indefinitely and you can put some in the soup and it won't lump up ever! This looks like it's the wrong color it's way too white. I'm good to go make bread it's not easy from a wheelchair with hands that don't work but I want to surprise my caregiver tomorrow. :-)
I'm not NAVY, I am Air Force (of long ago, early '60's) ... but I like NAVY beans anyway. (They don't make Air Force beans!) :) I'm cooking this today! Love beans 'n ham. :) My Navy beans have already soaked overnight and I've got a ham bone and a chunk of ham left over from Christmas. - I like the idea of blending up some beans as thickener, I'm going to try that today. (Thanks Cuke61) Everything will be in the pot within the next couple of hours. :) (I do about 95% of our cooking.)
"I don't even think air force knows what beans are" 🤣😅😆
Have you ever thickened with instant mashed potatoes?
I have not..not a bad idea. I have also thickened with just mashing some of the beans
I have to tell you, you should not drain off any of the original water. When you do that, you wash the good starch from the beans away that will naturally add to the thickening of your soup. You also should cook with the lid off much of the time to thicken the broth. Do those two things and your soup will be thick. No need to add the flour mixture.
How do you wash your beans
I wish I had the thyme... I need to know more about herbs and spices to at least know what to use instead :) Anyway glad to find this channel! AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO NAVY !
The thing I like most about cooking is experimenting. Cooking you can deviate a bit from the recipe especially herbs and spices. Use your taste to determine if you like or not. Some basic herbs I always keep stocked are basil, oregano, thyme, sage, marjoram, Italian seasoning and bay leaves. Basic spices..salt, pepper, cinnamon l, nutmeg, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, turmeric, cayenne pepper and paprika.
If that's thickened I'm the Pope.
That's my version of thick. And yes, of course you can thicken mashing the beans.
Request permission to come aboard shipmate?
Granted!!
I'm like you, I love to make soup, my Mother made alot of soup and I guess I took after her. Wife lets me cook all the time now. I'm a better cook.
Making a nice pot of soup can be therapeutic for me. Stay tuned, I have a minestrone airing soon. Keep cookin!!!
My step dad a WW II veteran in the Canadian Navy, had a delicious secret navy bean recipe he never shared. Don't know much about it except it used a pound of butter and some dry mustard.
Now that sounds interesting. Thank you to your Stepdad for his service.
I wish I knew how to make it. Just recall how good it was. When he put it in the fridge, next day it looked like hard baked mud in the desert. Just add water and away you go again. @@mikethestewburner5505
The only thing I’d change in your recipe is change the flour for corn starch. Flour has proteins that bind, and it can create foam.

Just found your channel. By any chance do you remember the U.S. Navy mulligatawny soup recipe. It was served on board the USS Constellation CV 64 it was awesome with some of there fresh baked bread.
I sure do. One of my favorite soups to make in the Navy.
I plan on serving Red robins cheesy biscuits with mine. 😊
@@rondanew9916 nice!!!!!!!
Doesn’t the salt make the beans tough? Perhaps you should put the salt in at the end of the cook to have a more tender bean.
Thanks for the view. Were not tough
It's pronounced the same as time.

Also, can you use canned beans?
You certainly could. Not sure of the cooking times
OK. Thank you.

A little disappointed in how you thicken soup. You really should take 1 cup of the soup with the beans and put in blender and puree them and then add back to pot. It's the beat method with ham and bean soup.
Thanks for the view. I use both methods. I have a slightly different recipe that I will be sharing soon and will use the mashed beans method.
What kind of cutting board is that Mike?
I believe poly carb
