• Pour 3 quarts of stock over the soaked beans. Add ham, celery, carrots, onion, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover, tilting the lid to allow steam to escape, and simmer until beans are tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Add sherry in the last 30 minutes of cooking and season with salt and pepper.

HAM BONE SOUP

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, or dutch oven, over medium heat add the butter. Sear the ham bone lightly on all sides, take the ham bone out of the pot, and set aside.
• Add the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic to the pot and cook over medium-low heat stirring occasionally until the onions are translucent, 5 minutes. Add the ham bone back to the pot along with the diced ham, 1 can of the navy beans, the bay leaf, thyme, black pepper, chicken stock, and water. Scrape any bits off the bottom of the pot.
• Place the remaining beans in a shallow bowl or plate and crush them with the back of a fork to form a paste, this will help to slightly thicken the soup, place the crushed beans in the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and simmer for at least 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Take the ham bone, bay leaf, and thyme sprigs out. Discard herbs pick off any meat you can from the ham bone and add it back to the pot. Taste and add salt if necessary. Serve.

HAM AND BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a Dutch oven (you can also use a thick-bottomed soup pot, but may need to stir more often to prevent burning) over medium heat for about 3 minutes or so, until it's nice and hot. Add the oil and the onions. Cook until the onions begin to turn translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Stir in the chopped celery and carrots, and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes. Add the beans, followed by the water. Increase the heat to high.
• Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, white pepper, black pepper, paprika, and chicken bouillon paste. (If you don't have chicken bouillon paste, simply use chicken stock in place of the water.) Bring to a boil.
• Stir in the ham. I like to cut it into big shards/shreds for extra texture. (Sarah likes hers cubed and orderly though. I won't judge either way!) If you're using a ham hock instead of ham, you can add it in now.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low so the soup is at a somewhat energetic simmer--it should always be at a low bubble. Cook for 4-5 hours, stirring periodically. If the soup isn't cooking down, you may want to increase the heat to medium. Every stove is different, so don't just set it and forget it. Periodically check liquid levels.
• In the last hour of cooking, add the fresh parsley, and cook for another hour. It's done when the beans and carrots are tender, and the soup is thickened. If you used a ham hock, fish out any bones, and chop up any large pieces of meat and skin (keeping the skin is optional) that don't break down during the cooking process before serving.
• This soup is quite forgiving. If it ends up too salty for your tastes, just add water, and lightly mash some of the beans to release their starchiness and re-thicken the soup. If you are reheating the soup and there is not enough liquid, just add 1-2 cups of water to bring it back to your desired consistency.

HAM BONE BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• In a large dutch oven pot, add in the olive oil, onion and carrot and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes until carrots are soft and onions are tender.
• Add in the ham bone, dried beans, chicken stock, water, crushed tomatoes, bay leaves and all dried spices. Bring the pot to a boil then reduce to simmer and cover and cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• After two hours, check the beans. They may need another 30 minutes until tender. Once beans are tender, add in the diced ham and heavy cream and cook for another 20 minutes until heated through.
• Serve warm and enjoy!

HEARTY HAM AND BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat butter and olive oil in a large dutch oven or stockpot over MED HIGH. Once hot, add the ham bone and brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Set ham bone aside on a plate.
• Reduce heat to MED, and add carrots, celery, and onion. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring often, until softened.
• Add garlic and cook another minute.
• Add beans, diced ham, Italian seasoning, cumin, thyme, black pepper, rosemary, and red pepper flakes (if using). Pour in chicken broth, water, and add bay leaves (if using), then give everything a gentle stir.
• Return ham bone to the pot, nestling it in, along with any juices that have accumulated on the plate (those are full of flavor).
• Increase heat to MED HIGH and cover. Once soup has come to a high simmer or gentle boil, reduce heat to MED LOW and simmer for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally, as the beans and ham can settle to the bottom and you don't want them to scorch.
• Remove ham bone and bay leaves (if used), and give the soup a taste. If needed, add a pinch of salt. Ham bones contain a lot of sodium, so I prefer to add the salt afterwards, if needed. Serve hot.
