Ham & Bean Soup

By Posted on
Brad's Ham & Bean Soup
Serves 6
Save that Ham bone and make yourself some ham stock. I love a good ham and bean soup and it comes out real tasty with a seven bean mix. Of course, what's a good bean soup without corn bread?
Ingredients
  1. 2 cups beans of your choice (mixed beans work well)
  2. 8 cups ham stock (or whatever you have and finish off with chicken stock or water)
  3. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  4. 2 tablespoons butter
  5. 1 sweet yellow onion, peeled & diced
  6. 5 carrots, peeled cut into 1/8” slices
  7. 2 stalks celery, cut into 1/8” slices (optional)
  8. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  9. 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  10. 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  11. 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  12. 1 teaspoon Kosher salt (possibly, but taste first)
  13. 2 cups cooked ham, cubed
  14. Garnish: Chopped parsley or cilantro (optional)
  15. Corn bread for serving (optional)
