Ingredients
  • Cubed ham: Use up leftover cooked ham to make this easy ham and bean soup. Try to avoid using leftovers from recipes that have a super sweet or overpowering glaze, since the flavors will carry over into the soup. Or, cut off the edges of each glazed ham slice and use the insides.
  • Chicken broth: While ham and bean soup recipes often call for water, chicken broth makes this recipe more flavorful and nourishing. Store-bought or homemade chicken broth will work.
  • Beans: Drain and rinse four cans of great northern beans to keep the prep time to a minimum.
  • Veggies: A mirepoix made with sauteed carrots, onion and celery creates a base for the soup. Cut the vegetables into the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Herbs and spices: Bay leaf, minced garlic, chili powder and black pepper give the ham and bean soup a little warming spice and depth. Don’t forget to remove the bay leaf before serving-they’re tough and unpleasant to eat. If you’ve ever wondered, “ can you eat bay leaves?”, the answer is no!
