Zutaten:
- 1 ham bone
- 2 cups ham (chopped into small bite sized pieces)
- 1 cup carrots (finely chopped)
- 1 cup celery (finely chopped)
- 4 cups chicken bone broth (or chicken stock)
- 1 cup yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tbs garlic (finely chopped)
- 5 oz Great Northern Beans
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons parsley (finely chopped, optional garnish)
Arbeitsschritte:
- Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil in the bottom of a Dutch oven over medium heat, and then add the onions, celery, and carrots.
- Sauté the vegetables until the onion becomes translucent (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add the garlic to the sautéed vegetables.
- Sauté the garlic for 30 seconds to one minute, or until fragrant.
- Add the chopped ham and seasonings to the sautéed vegetables.
- Sauté the ham with the vegetables for 2-3 minutes, lightly searing it.
- Add the ham bone to the bottom of the Dutch oven.
- Add the chicken bone broth to the sautéed vegetables and ham. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the broth to a simmer. Reduce the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer, then cover and cook for 1 hour.
- Remove the lid and stir well.
- Remove the ham bone from the broth and discard.
- Add the beans to the soup broth, and mix well. Return to a simmer for about 45 minutes.
- Add the chopped parsley before serving. I like to let the soup rest for about 10 minutes so it cools slightly before serving.
