INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Smoked Ham
1 cup Cooked Navy Beans
1 medium Carrot
1/2 cup Celery
1/2 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 cup Chicken Broth
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Bay Leaf
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Dice the smoked ham into bite-sized pieces. Rinse and drain the cooked navy beans if using canned, or prepare if using pre-cooked dried beans.
Chop the carrot, celery, and onion into small diced pieces. Mince the garlic.
Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion, celery, and carrot until they begin to soften, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced ham and navy beans. Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaf.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing the flavors to meld for about 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Enjoy your hearty soup warm as a comforting breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
