kosher salt

black pepper (freshly ground, to taste)

Steps:

  • Sort through 1 pound dry great norther beans, discarding any debris or broken beans. Pour 6 cups of cool water over top and let them soak for 6 to 8 hours or overnight. They should double in size.

  • Add in garlic, thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Stir and cook 1 minute.

  • Add in the beans and simmer, with the lid cracked for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours or until beans are soft and tender.
  • Remove ham bone, bay leaf and thyme stems. Use a potato masher and smash some of the beans to thicken the soup.
  • Pick ham from bone (if it didn't come off already) and add the ham to the soup.
  • Season with salt and black pepper to taste. For me it was 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
