1 cup chicken broth
2?-3 fresh thyme sprigs
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and saute onions and garlic in olive oil until translucent. Add carrots, celery, and ham to the skillet, stirring occasionally. Continue to cook for about five minutes?the goal is to cook the vegetables and to caramelize the outside of the ham pieces for extra flavor. Add beans, chicken broth, thyme, and pepper to the skillet and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20?-30 minutes. This will reduce the broth a bit and allow the flavors to develop. When ready to serve, remove thyme sprigs from skillet. Best if served with crusty bread or rolls.
