  1. 1

    Wash and pick over the navy beans, then put in a pot with the 8 cups water; bring to a boil and boil 2 minutes, then remove from heat, cover and let sit at least 1 hour (3 or 4 is okay).

  2. 2

    Drain and rinse the beans. If chicken is frozen put it in a large pot with the 10 cups of water, bring to a boil and cook about 15 minutes until you can cut it into chunks (For raw chicken, just cut up and put in the pot with the water and proceed to the next step).
