BEAN SOUP 1 lb. navy beans Wash navy beans in cold water and drain. Put in big bowl, cover with water and let set overnight (they will swell). Pour water off. Add fresh water (cover over beans well). Add smoked meat (ham, salt pork, pork necks) and simmer until beans are down, 3 to 4 hours, adding more water as necessary. One hour before serving add: 3 to 4 potatoes, 1 onion and 1 to 2 carrots (sliced wafer thin). Cook until done. Add salt and pepper to taste while cooking.
