Ingredients
  

  • 1 leftover smoked ham bone
  • 2 cups of chopped celery I chop the leafy part as well
  • 2 cups of chopped onion
  • 2 cups of chopped carrots
  • 1 bag of white Great Northern Beans
  • 8 cups of water
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 cloves of smoked roasted garlic
  • 1/2 tsn salt remember, ham is salty to begin with
  • 1/4 tsn pepper

Instructions
 

  • Simmer the ham bone in the water for 30 minutes on low. Then add the carrots, celery, onion and beans - this gives the ham bone a head start to get all of that delicious meat off the bone.
  • Add in the pay leaf, roasted garlic, salt and pepper. Let simmer until the beans are cooked, which is usually about an hour. The soup thickens up considerably from the beans, and the entire house smells fantastic.
