Ham and Bean Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound ham, diced (or leftover ham bone)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 pound dried white beans (such as Great Northern or Navy beans), rinsed and sorted (or 3 cans of beans, drained and rinsed)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups kale or spinach (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Sauté Vegetables:
    • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
  2. Add Ham and Seasonings:
    • Stir in the diced ham, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Cook for a few more minutes to let the flavors meld.
  3. Add Broth and Beans:
    • Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and add the dried beans (if using dried). Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
  4. Simmer:
    • Cover and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beans are tender. If using canned beans, add them in the last 15-20 minutes of cooking.
  5. Add Greens (Optional):
    • If using kale or spinach, stir it in during the last 10 minutes of cooking until wilted.
  6. Season and Serve:
    • Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Enjoy!

This Ham and Bean Soup is a hearty meal on its own, perfect with crusty bread or cornbread on the side. Enjoy!
