The ingredients for White Bean and Ham Soup are:

1 pound bag of Great Northern Beans, sorted and rinsed
2 smoked ham hocks
2 quarts water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup sweet onion, diced
3 leeks, rinsed and sliced
3 ribs of celery, chopped
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 bay leaf

Fresh parsley

Here is how you make White Bean and Ham Soup:

Place rinsed beans in a large bowl and cover completely with cold water; allow beans to soak overnight.The following day, place ham hocks in a large pot and cover with 2 quarts of water; bring to a boil while preparing the vegetables.In a medium saut? pan, heat oil over medium heat; add onion, leeks, celery, and carrots and cook for about five minutes. Stir in garlic and continue cooking for one minute; remove from heat.Turn heat down to low; add the drained beans, vegetables, and bay leaf to the pot with the ham hocks and stir to combine.Simmer for 4-6 hours, or until the beans are soft and the ham meat easily pulls away from the bone; pull the meat off the bone and discard the bones. Add salt and pepper to taste and finish with chopped fresh parsley.I like to use my immersion blender and puree a bit of the soup for a creamier consistency. You can also toss in a can of diced tomatoes or even Ro-tel if you like it spicy. Serve with cornbread and a crisp salad and you have a killer meal!Serving Size: Makes 10-12 2 cup servingsNumber of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BEAKIEBEAN.
