Ingredients
- 2 meaty ham hocks about 1 1/2 lbs.
- 1 pound dried white beans great northern or cannellini
- 1 quart low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 quart water
- 4 ribs celery chopped
- 3 small carrots sliced
- 1 large onion chopped
- 3 garlic cloves chopped
- 12 sprigs thyme
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large slow cooker, combine the ham hocks, beans, broth, celery, carrots, onion, garlic and thyme sprigs. Cover and cook on low until the beans are tender, about 5 - 6 hours on low.
- Discard the thyme stems. Remove the ham hocks and shred the meaty parts; discard the skin, fat and bones. Return the ham back to the slow cooker and season with salt and pepper.

Notes
- The original recipe called for all chicken broth for the liquid, but we thought it was too salty, even with using low-sodium. It may vary, depending on the brand you use, so season to taste.
