Ingredients
- 1 pound dry great northern beans
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup celery chopped
- 1 ham bone (it tastes best when there are still plenty of scraps on it)
- 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- 1 cup carrots chopped
- 2 teaspoons rosemary
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard powder
- 2 cups ham chopped
- kosher salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large stockpot of salted water to a boil and then remove from heat. Rinse beans well and add them to the pot. Allow beans to soak for 1-2 hours. Drain beans and set aside.
- In the same stockpot or a large Dutch oven, heat oil and add onions, garlic, and celery. Sauté until onions and celery become soft.
- Add ham bone, chicken broth, carrots, soaked beans, rosemary, thyme, sage, and mustard powder to the pot. Stir well to combine seasonings and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook on low for 60 minutes.
- Remove ham bone from the pot and discard. Remove about 4-5 cups of the soup and place in a food processor or blender. Pulse 4-5 times until coarsely blended. Add back to pot. This helps to thicken the soup. You can blend more or less of the soup depending on how thick you want it.
- Add chopped ham.
- Simmer an additional 30-40 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve in individual bowls.
Notes
- This soup tastes even better the next day! So I always make sure to have at least a good bowlful of leftovers in the fridge. It will last up to three days in the refrigerator. The flavors meld together deliciously and it just takes minutes to heat up.
