1. Heat a Dutch oven (you can also use a thick-bottomed soup pot, but may need to stir more often to prevent burning) over medium heat for about 3 minutes or so, until it’s nice and hot. Add the oil and the onions. Cook until the onions begin to turn translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
2. Stir in the chopped celery and carrots, and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes. Add the beans, followed by the water. Increase the heat to high.
3. Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, white pepper, black pepper, paprika, and chicken bouillon paste. (If you don’t have chicken bouillon paste, simply use chicken stock in place of the water.) Bring to a boil.
4. Stir in the ham. I like to cut it into big shards/shreds for extra texture. (Sarah likes hers cubed and orderly though. I won’t judge either way!) If you’re using a ham hock instead of ham, you can add it in now.

If you are using pan juices (i.e.,ham juice from the bottom of the roasting pan):Refrigerate pan juices for at least four hours, until very cold.Using a fine mesh sieve, strain the pan juices to filter out any fat solids and other bits you might not want in your soup.Use 16-24 ounces of pan juices in your soup; less if your ham was particularly salty or the juices very thick.Add enough water to the pan juices to make a total of 1½ to 2 quarts of liquid, depending upon how thick you like your soup. (i.e., more liquid=thinner soup) Add liquid to the ingredients in the slow cooker.If you DO use pan juices as part of your liquid: Hold off on adding any additional seasoning until after the first 4 hours.If you DO NOT use pan juices as part of your liquid: Add the brown sugar and black pepper at this time.DO NOT add any salt to your Navy Bean Soup at this time. Ham bones are notoriously salty, and it is easier to know how much salt to add once the ham bone has cooked out into the soup.
