Navy Bean Soup image

This recipe is from the Sugar Bowl Restaurant in Gaylord, Michigan. It was posted in the Oct/Nov 2002 Taste of home. I like to make this early in the morning and have it ready for lunch. It takes a little time because you cook your own beans, but it's really a simple recipe when you take out the cooking time.
