Ingredients
- 1 ham bone
- 8-10 cups water
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 pound dried navy beans
- 3-4 medium carrots peeled and sliced
- 3 celery stalks sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion diced

Instructions
- Make Ham Stock: Add 1 ham bone, 8-10 cups water and 1 bay leaf to a large Dutch oven. Bring to a boil then reduce to simmer and cover for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- Cook Beans: Add 1 pound dried navy beans, cover and return to simmer for 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally. Remove ham bone - option to scoop out the bone marrow, if any, as it adds an amazing flavor to the soup!
- Combine: Add carrots, celery, onion and ham meat. Let simmer 20-30 minutes or until vegetables are firm but soft.
- Adjust: Taste and add salt and pepper as desired - ham is pretty salty on its own and everyone is different when it comes to salt preferences, so taste and add as needed.
