- 2 celery stocks chopped ( .20)
- 3/4 cup carrots diced ( .50)
- dash of pepper
- 8 cups of water

- Place all ingredients in a crock pot. Add the water. Cook on high for 6 hours.
- Remove bone from the soup. Remove any meat that remains on the bone and add the meat back to the soup.
Notes
If you like chunky soup, you can serve it as is. I like my bean soup smooth and thick, so I use an emersion blender to blend it to a nice smooth consistency. If you like your soup a little thinner, you can add more water as you blend it.
