Ham and Bean Soup
Description
This soup starts with sautéing diced carrots, celery, and onions in vegetable oil until they soften, creating a flavorful base. Adding diced cooked ham intensifies the savory profile, followed by minced garlic to heighten aroma. Chicken broth, canned great northern beans (with liquid), and diced tomatoes are incorporated along with salt and black pepper to taste. The mixture simmers to heat through and meld flavors.
The final soup delivers tender vegetables and hearty beans with the smoky saltiness of ham, resulting in a balanced, satisfying bowl. It’s suitable for cooler weather or as a nourishing meal. The cooking process uses everyday ingredients and straightforward steps.
