This is the perfect meal on a snowy, wintry day like today. Easily done with things we generally have on hand. I freeze any leftover ham after the holidays, so I can usually whip this up pretty quickly.
- 1 cup onions, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 large carrot, chopped
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cups chicken stock (or ham, turkey or vegetable)
- 2 cups beans (mixed variety, black, white, etc)
- 2 cups ham, diced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper, freshly ground
- 1/4-1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
In a stockpot heat butter and olive oil. Saute the onions, garlic, carrots and celery until soft.
Add beans, ham, chicken stock and spices. Simmer until flavors are well blended.
