This soup has been on our menu for about 25 years. Customers tell us they love its flavor. A clear chicken broth makes it different from other bean soups.—Robert Doumas, Gaylord, Michigan

I copied this recipe from a Taste of Home magazine a couple years ago, made it today and it is by far the best navy bean soup I've ever eaten. I used a ham bone from Christmas instead of the bacon the recipe calls for and it is delicious!!
