1 | pounds | Navy beans |
12 | cups | Beef stock |

3 | Cloves Garlic; minced | |
2 | Bay leaves | |

Directions
Soak the beans overnight, or boil for 3 minutes and soak for 1 hour. Drain the beans, discarding the soaking liquid. Simmer the beans in the stock with the onion, garlic, and bay leaves until the beans are tender (about 1 hour). Blanch the pancetta in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain, and add to the soup halfway through cooking. Wash the escarole and pat dry. Roughly chop the escarole; set aside. When beans are thoroughly cooked, add the chopped escarole. Simmer for 2 minutes, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serves 8.
