INGREDIENTS
4 oz Smoked Ham
3/4 cup Navy Beans, cooked
1 medium Carrot
1 stalk Celery
1/4 medium Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth
PREPARATION
Dice the smoked ham into bite-sized pieces.
Rinse the cooked navy beans if necessary.
Chop the carrot, celery, and onion into small, uniform pieces; mince the garlic.
In a large pot, heat a small amount of olive oil or use a non-stick spray over medium heat. Sauté the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic until they begin softening, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the diced ham and continue to sauté for an additional 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
Pour in the low sodium chicken broth and add the navy beans.
Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh herbs before serving.
