Senate Bean Soup has been served to senators and their staff for more than 100 years in the U.S. Senate Dining Room. This stovetop recipe, an adaptation of our popular slow-cooker version, honors the original -- navy beans simmered with ham hocks, butter and onion -- but perks it up with carrots and smoked paprika. If you'd like more vegetables, stir in about 8 ounces of chopped kale before serving.
