Ham and Bean Soup
Description
In this Ham and Bean Soup, butter is used to sauté diced onion, carrot, and celery until soft and translucent, creating a flavorful base. Garlic adds aromatic depth before adding diced ham and drained white cannellini beans. Fresh thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaves infuse the broth with herbaceous notes. Chicken broth provides a savory liquid medium, and the soup is simmered gently to blend flavors and tenderize the beans. Seasoning with kosher salt and coarse black pepper rounds out the taste.
The final soup is a hearty and savory dish with tender vegetables, smoky ham, and creamy beans. This classic combination offers a satisfying texture contrast between the firm beans and ham pieces. It can be served as a standalone meal or accompanied by crusty bread for dipping.
