Ham and Bean Soup

Happy New Year!

For the holidays I bought my first Honey Baked Ham!  Needless to say we had some leftovers.  
I tried making a few soups with the leftover ham and this one tasted the best.


2 15 oz cans Navy Beans drained and rinsed
1 large onion chopped
2 cups celery stalk (about 4)
1 bay leaf
1 tbs dried thyme
1 cup cubed ham pieces
4 cups chicken broth (I use unsalted)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter

In a large dutch oven heat butter over medium-heat until melted.  Add celery and onions until tender, stirring occasionally.  Add beans, chicken broth, bay leaf, thyme and ham and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes.
