Navy Bean Soup

This recipe was passed down from my mom. I have a Rival Crock Pot that I have used many, many times over the years which I used on this recipe. It really makes things easier in the evening when I get home from work.
    1 pound dry navy beans (soaked overnight)
    1 large onion, chopped (I use onion powder)
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon pepper
    1 potato, diced
    1 carrot, diced
    1/4 to 1/2 pound ham, cut in small pieces (I have also used ham hocks but it is a little fatter than the ham)
    water to cover the beans and ham)

Soak the beans over night.

Put all the ingredients in the crock pot. Stir together well. Cover and cook on low 7 to 10 hours (high: 4 to 5 hours). Tastes good served with wedges of hot corn bread; add a green salad and/or fruit and you have a nice light supper.
