1 lb navy beans, soaked overnight
1 meaty ham bone
1 small onion, chopped finely
1 cup cream
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/8 tsp ginger powder
1-2 cups brown sugar (I think 1 cup well packed is plenty!)
Place navy beans and ham bone in crock pot and fill with enough water to cover beans and most of ham bone. Cook on low for 3-4 hours. Add remaining ingredients and cook an additional 2-4 hours. Take bone out and shred remaining meat off bone and add to soup. Serve with a crusty loaf of bread and a salad. Delicious.
