Senate Bean Soup

Senators come and go. One ham and bean soup recipe stays the same.

Here’s the authentic, official U.S. Senate bean soup recipe, a hearty and easy ham and bean soup that has been on the Capitol Hill menu for ages. Perfect for cozy fall and winter nights.

Why I Love Senate Bean Soup

As a former U.S. Senate staffer, I can testify to the merits of the Senate Bean Soup recipe.

For my first job out of college, I worked as an entry-level Senate staffer in one of the country’s most expensive cities. The job barely paid the rent — though I did once ride an elevator with Mikhail Gorbachev. On the days I did not bring a sad, homemade lunch, I headed to the Senate cafeteria and got a cup of (very affordable) Senate Bean Soup — stuffing a fistful of free Saltine cracker packets into my bag for good measure.

This easy Navy bean soup, though sometimes labeled touristy, is salty and thick and stick-to-your-ribs. Maybe that’s why it’s been on the menu every day but one, for over 100 years.

Food History of Senate Ham and Bean Soup

According to the U.S. Senate, the history of Senate Navy Bean Soup is more legend and guesswork than verifiable fact. One story says that in the early 1900s, Idaho senator Fred Dubois actually passed a resolution that the soup remain on the menu every day. (In its early days, the Senate Bean Soup recipe included potatoes; it no longer does.)

Another story says that in 1903, Minnesota senator Knute Nelson expressed his fondness for the soup.

Either way, some form of Senate bean soup has been on the menu every single day for 110 years — with one exception. For one day during World War II, the bean soup was unavailable due to food rations.

The House of Representatives has its own competing bean soup, which likewise remains on the House cafeteria menu every day.

Senate Bean Soup: Recipe Notes

If you want to enjoy official Senate Bean Soup today, there are two options. One option is to head to the Senate cafeteria, on the ground floor of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. The other is to make the recipe yourself.

Because this is an easy soup to make, and requires no more travel than to the grocery store, the “make your own” ham and bean soup option gets my vote. Just a few notes:

  • Start with the ham and beans. Many soups call for cooking the onions first, and then adding everything else. But here, the ham and beans cook together first. This not only makes a delicious ham stock, but the beans cook and get infused with flavor from the outset.
  • Cook the onions in the butter just until translucent, then add to the soup. Stir, simmer, and season.

Adapting the Senate Bean Soup Recipe for Home Kitchens

The soup flavors are best described as hammy and beany. Probably because those are the only ingredients other than an onion and dab of butter! That is a good thing.

The original recipe is vague, so I have added a few specifics, like a suggested quantity of salt and pepper. I start with cold water, instead of the suggested hot water, because hot tap water generally is not as clean. This should be a very thick soup.

Technically, I would have liked to add something like, I don’t know, a bay leaf? But I stuck to the original as much as possible, so that is why the recipe is so simple.

Also: This soup makes a fantastic recipe for those leftover ham bones around Easter or Christmas.

    This is fantastic. It tastes exactly like the “real” Senate bean soup — because it is, haha. I ate this when I visited Washington last year. Now I am glad to make it at home. Definitely make sure to cook the beans a very long time to get the soup very creamy.

I am not sure how to do an exact conversion, but thought this Taste of Home article helpful: https://www.tasteofhome.com/article/how-to-make-any-recipe-work-with-your-instant-pot/.

        I just made this yesterday. I took the liberty of adding 2 cloves of minced garlic.. place unsoaked dry navy beans on bottom of pot. Place ham hocks, garlic and onion on hocks. Add water, seal and pressure cook for 30 minutes. Slow release for 20 min. Open lid and remove hocks and allow to cool for a few minutes. Meanwhile, remove about 2 cups of beans and set aside. Purée and add back to pot. Shred hocks and add back to pot. Give all a good stir and ENJOY ! EXCELLENT!

    You don’t soak the beans first? Isn’t that standard procedure for any dry bean?

      May 19, 2021 at 9:55 am

      Nope! I initially had the same question. It’s seriously the easiest recipe ever. You could probably soak the beans overnight first, which would decrease the cooking time slightly, but starting the recipe with dried beans, ham hock, and onion allows the beans to fully infuse with the flavor from minute one. Hope you enjoy!

      I think that would be absolutely doable! I have not tried this as a slow cooker recipe, but my guess is that it would take anywhere between 7 to 9 hours on low, or about 4 to 5 hours on high, due to the dried beans. I’d love to hear how it goes, so please keep me posted! Enjoy.

      Hello and no! No soaking necessary. It will cook in about 3 hours total. If you’d like to speed up the cooking time a bit, add a 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. The alkaline pH softens the beans (cool cooking trick, huh?). Enjoy!

    My father in law has been purchasing the Senate Navy Bean soup from a magazine and it’s very good, but the sodium level is outrageous. So, we’re going to try this in the crockpot today, New Year’s Day! Couldn’t find black eyed peas, so I thought I’d give this a shot. We have a ham hock from a couple of days ago, so that came in handy and can’t wait to try it!
    Happy new year everyone!

    This recipe is very good. I normally use Honey Baked Hams soup mix but decided to try from scratch. This tasted just as good or even better , without all the added sodium, then the HB ham mix. I did add two bay leaves while it was simmering. I also added one diced up carrot and 2 cloves of minced garlic to the onion mixture. The only seasoning I added was. A pinch of salt to the veggies while sautéing. This will be my forever bean soup recipe from now on !

    I am going to try this Senate bean soup recipe. Am going to cook in my slow cooker. I will also add potatoes at the end, because I like potatoes. I can see that nobody added potatoes which was pointed out that the original recipe had them. so I will them. I will also use a smoked ham shank instead of the hock, better cut of meat for this process. As for the beans great white northern beans to be exact. Otherwise called Navy Beans. I did enjoy the history behind the soup. It was probably a cold day in D.C. and that was the only stuff on hand in the kitchen.

    I was also a senate staffer (Russell Bldg) in the mid 80’s and ate at the Senate Cafeteria often. The Navy Bean Soup was, and remains, a fav. As I recall, they made 5 gallon pots and added mashed potatoes to thicken and make creamy. With my home recipe, I prepare one bag of Idaho Buttermilk instant mashed potatoes per the package directions, then add to the soup at the tail end of cooking. Yum!

    I grew up eating my Mother’s Senate Bean Soup, not knowing where it originated. I just knew that I liked it! Then, when visiting a friend in DC, I had lunch in the Senate Cafe. Lo and behold, there it was, on the menu. Some congress person got me a copy of the recipe and I’ve been making it ever since. All the menu items back then, around 1980, were very inexpensive, but I looked up their menu today, and it’s $7 for a bowl of this delicious soup!

    It costs about that to make a whole pot of it, and that’s with the higher cost of smoked ham hocks. I’ve got a pot on the stove right now, and can’t wait to have a bowl!

    I loved this soup. It was the best bean soup I’ve made. However, it got so thick the next day? I had to use quite a bit of broth/water to thin it. Did I cook it too long or any other advice?

      Hi, Janet! This is a very common problem with most bean soups. Beans (as well as other starches, such as pasta) will continue to absorb liquid, even when cold. That’s why the next day, beany soups can look congealed. Feel free to just add a splash or two of water and keep adjusting from there, though not too much at a time because it will loosen when you reheat it; this is totally normal.

    So I’m American living in Ireland for years. Always loved my Mom’s bean soup. This recipe looked familiar. Had a ham hock and ham leftover. Stood in Tesco on my phone trying to find substitute for navy beans- decided on cannellini beans. Made in crockpot- 1 quart cold water, 1 quart boiled water from kettle. Only about 1 1/2 lb ham/ ham hock but was plenty. Took 2 hrs to boil (started at 8 am) on high. Moved lid to leave open slightly and let it go until 4. Took out ham to cut up ,added onion, salt and pepper and 4 slices smoked American style bacon as ham had clove flavouring. Left on low another hour and it was so thick, hearty and delicious.!

    I grew up with soup made this vary way, but as I got older, I needed more. I make mine with both onion and celery and a can of drained Rotel tomatoes with hot chilis. I also add a couple tsps of Better than Boullion chicken to the 2 cups of water. I think the addition of the celery, tomatoes & bouillon make it a much tastier recipe..

    I followed the recipe exactly. After three hours the beans still aren’t cooked. I”m on hour five. I thought it was odd that the beans weren’t soaked overnight. I should have trusted my gut. Very disappointed.

      Hello and thank you for the comment. I am sorry to hear that this did not work out! Was the water simmering enough, and did you have a lid on as directed to help the beans cook faster? Five hours is a VERY long time to have to cook beans–even without pre-soaking them! I would be so frustrated as well. Those are the troubleshooting ideas I can think of. Again, I empathize with you; having a recipe not work out can be so disappointing.
