Instructions

Beans

Add the dried beans to a colander. Rinse them under cold running water to remove any debris.
To a large pot (we used a 7-quart pot), add the rinsed beans. Add enough cold water to cover the beans. Bring to a boil over high heat. Let them boil for 2-3 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat, cover, and let the beans soak for 1 hour. After soaking, drain and rinse the beans. Set aside.

Soup

To the same large pot over medium heat, add the butter. Once melted, add the onions, carrots, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the onions and the carrots begin to soften.
Add the beans, ham bone, broth, and water.
Stir in the chopped parsley.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and simmer the soup for about 1 hour, or until the beans are tender.
Carefully remove the ham bone and pull off any remaining ham.
Stir ham back into pot.
Garnish with parsley. Serve warm.
