  • Directions

    Place dry beans into a saucepan and add water to cover by one inch. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour. Drain and rinse beans.

    Pour 3 cups fresh water into a large pressure cooker. Add drained beans and ham bone, then stir in parsley, onion flakes, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, dry mustard, chili powder, and paprika. Seal the pressure cooker and heat to 15 pounds per square inch. Cook under pressure for 7 minutes; add 1 minute for every 1,000 feet above sea level. Remove from the heat and allow pressure to subside naturally.

    When the pressure has reduced, open the lid. Stir in 5 cups water, tomato purée, celery, ketchup, chicken soup base, molasses, olive oil, brown sugar, and cracked black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer until beans are tender, about 45 minutes. Stir in shell pasta and simmer until tender, about 15 more minutes.
