U.S. Senate Bean Soup is a soup made with navy beans, ham hocks and onion. It is served in the dining room of the U.S Senate every day. This is a long standing tradition. “Bean soup is on the menu in the Senate’s restaurant every day. There are several stories about the origin of that mandate, but none has been corroborated.” Cite: Senate.gov.

September 14, 1943, the U.S. was experiencing rationing due to the events of World War II. The Senate kitchen was left without enough beans to serve the U.S. Senate Soup. These events were recounted by then Senator Bob Dole in his Bicentennial Minute speech on the Senate floor in 1988; “Somehow, by the next day, more beans were found and bowls of bean soup have been ladled up without interruption ever since.” Cite: Washington Post.
