Ham & White Bean Soup

Contributed by: Melinda

About the simplest, filling meal I have ever made. Perfect for cold, blustery weather.

1 lb. white beans, such as haricot or navy or lima
1 leftover hambone with meat
1 large onion, peeled and cut in half
1-2 fresh bay leaves, or 3-4 dried
Water
  • Rinse beans and soak overnight in cold water to cover by 2 inches
  • Drain and rinse beans and pick through for any foreign matter
  • Place hambone, beans, onion and bay in a large soup pot
  • Pour in water to cover ingredients (a small portion of the hambone might stick up)
  • Turn on heat to medium and bring to a low boil, uncovered
  • When it reaches the boil, cover and reduce heat to low
  • Cook for 90 minutes to 2 hours, stirring and turning ham bone occasionally
  • Taste beans for tenderness after 90 minutes - if cooked properly, turn off heat and add salt if needed (probably won't be needed) or continue cooking for another 30 minutes
  • Adjust seasonings and allow to stand briefly before serving
