Great Northern Bean Soup (Crockpot)

• 1 lb dry great northern beans
• 1 large onion
• 2 celery stalks
• 2 medium carrots
• 4 garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp beef boullion paste
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 4 cup water
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 salt & pepper to taste

1. Soak beans in water overnight (can do this in the crockpot with it unplugged)
2. Drain water and pick out bad or split beans.
3. Chop celery, carrots, garlic, and onion.
4. Add to crockpot along with bay leaves.
5. Add enough water to cover ingredients.
6. 4 cups worked for me.
7. Can add more if needed.
8. Add beef bouillon paste (I use better than bouillon beef base), butter, and olive oil.
9. Cook on high for 6 hours.
10. Remove bay leaves.
11. Add salt and pepper to taste.
12. Can use immersion blender to puree part of the soup to thicken if preferred.
13. Enjoy :)
