INGREDIENTS
5 oz Smoked Ham
1 cup White Navy Beans
1 medium Carrot
1 stalk Celery
1/4 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 cup Chicken Broth
1 Bay Leaf
Pinch Black Pepper
Pinch Salt
PREPARATION
Dice the smoked ham into small cubes and set aside.
Rinse and drain the white navy beans if using canned.
Chop the carrot, celery, and onion into uniform pieces; mince the garlic.
In a large pot, sauté the diced ham over medium heat for 2-3 minutes to render some flavor.
Add the chopped onion, carrot, celery, and garlic to the pot, cooking until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4-5 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the white beans and bay leaf.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste, and remove the bay leaf before serving.
Serve warm, enjoying this hearty and nutritious soup as a complete meal.
