INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Smoked Ham
1 cup White Navy Beans
1 medium Carrot
2 stalks Celery
1 small Onion
2 cloves Garlic
2 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 Bay Leaf
1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
1 pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Sauté the chopped onion, celery, carrot, and minced garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the smoked ham, stirring for an additional 2 minutes to release its flavor.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the drained white navy beans.
Tie the bay leaf, thyme, and a pinch of black pepper in cheesecloth or add directly if preferred, then stir to combine.
Bring the soup to a simmer, reduce the heat, and let it cook for 15-20 minutes to merge the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before removing the bay leaf.
Ladle the hearty soup into bowls and serve warm.
