     Hearty Ham and Bean Soup

Category   Salads - Soups - Sidedishes
Sub Category   None

Ingredients
10 cups water
1 pound Great Northern beans or navy beans OR 4 cans
2 cups diced cooked ham
1 ham bone or ham hock, optional
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1 bay leaf
1 or 2 ribs celery, chopped or sliced thinly
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
 
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Instructions
1. Bring the water and beans to a boil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven; boil for 2 minutes. Remove the beans from heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour. 2. Add the ham, ham bone, or hock to the beans, along with onion, pepper, bay leaf, carrot and celery to the beans. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until beans are tender (skim foam from top), about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. If soup is too thick, add a little more water. 3. If you used a ham bone or ham hocks, take them out of the soup and remove the meat. Dice or shred the meat and return it to the soup. 4. Add the tomato sauce and salt, to taste; simmer for about 15 minutes longer. Remove the bay leaf.
Tips and Variations If you soak the beans overnight, use 8 cups of water and skip the first step of boiling the beans and letting them stand for an hour. For some extra texture and flavor, add 1 can of diced tomatoes to the soup along with the tomato sauce. This soup is good for tailgating. Transfer the finished soup to a slow cooker and take it along to a party or event. Keep it on low or on the warm setting for serving.
