Hi Raven, I made this for Sunday dinner and you are right it certainly goes a long way, and not to pricey to make. I have looked at navy soup and thought it sounded good, we don't have that in Scotland. I was raised on soup, when we went to visit gran there was always soup on the go, a bit different from this (no garlic) but I really liked this, it was very tasty. I used a smoked ham hock, cooked slow all night for my stock and soaked my beans the day before in my slow cooker. It was delicious and some over for next day great! Thanks for a keeper.
