Instructions
- Add the beans to a large container and fill it with water until it is covering the beans by about 4 inches. Cover and set aside at room temperature overnight or for up to 24 hours. Drain, and set aside.
- Place the butter in a large pot over low heat and cook the onions for 30-40 minutes or until well caramelized. Stir often.
- Next, add in the carrots, celery, and garlic and cook over low-medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes.
- Deglaze with wine and cook it until there are only about 2 to 3 tablespoons of liquid left in the pot.
- Add in the ham, ham bone, beans, chicken stock, parmesan rind, and thyme, cover with a lid and cook over low heat for 90-120 minutes stirring occasionally until beans are cooked and the soup is thickened naturally.
- Finish by stirring in the vinegar, salt, and pepper, and serve.
Notes
- Chef Notes:
- Make-Ahead: While excellent to serve and eat as soon as it’s finished, you can make this recipe up to 2 to 3 days ahead of time, just reheat when ready to serve.
- How to Reheat: Place your desired amount of soup into a small size pot and cook over low heat until hot. You can also place your desired amount of soup in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in a microwave until hot.
- How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 6 days. It will freeze well covered for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 1 day before reheating.
- You do not only have to use a leftover ham bone in this recipe. You can just use cut up ham or cut up ham with a ham hock for extra flavor. The bone will help add in quite a bit of flavor.
- Substitute with canned beans if you do not have dried beans.
- To accelerate the bean soaking process, cover the beans in boiling water, and let it sit for 1 hour before using.
