The small, white navy bean, also called pea bean or haricot, is particularly popular in Britain and the US, featured in such dishes as baked beans and even pies, as well as in various soups such as the famous Senate Bean Soup.
Navy bean varieties include:
* Great Northern beans
* Rainy River
* Robust
* Michelite
* Sanilac
Other white beans include Cannellini, a quite popular variety in Central and Southern Italy which is related to the kidney bean and like the kidney bean has higher levels of the toxin lectin (Phytohaemagglutinin).
PRIME RIB ARTICHOKE BEAN SOUP
2 cups prime rib pieces or any other meat of your choice
8 cups stock – I used the stock from last week’s ham bone
1 1/2 cups Au Jus – left over fro the prime rib, but any stock would do
1 pound Great Northern beans – next time I’ll use Navy beans
3 cloves garlic
1 bunch green onions, sliced
3 large carrots, sliced
3 stalks celery, sliced
1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
Handful parsley, chopped
Yummy! I think I will try your recipe. Can’t wait!!
thanks for sharing! Kathy 🙂
Yummy soup.
I made a soup, I called, Clean My Fridge Soup, or something like that.
Such gems can be found in both refrigerator and freezer, especially the freezer.
I have been working to clean out my fridge and freezer. Don’t like to have much in there longer than a year.
Soup looks great!
I love clean out the fridge soups. I call it my energy soup because it’s always so healthy with lots of veggies and I usually add whole grain Kashi which provides a great energy boost for workouts 🙂
I wish I had a hunk of prime rib left over like that right now, mmmmmm steak and eggs!
Great sounding soup and an excellent way to use leftovers.
