Time 10h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ cups dried Great Northern beans
4 meaty ham hocks
5 cups water
1 ½ cups sliced celery
1 cup chopped onion
1 large carrot, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon dried thyme, or more to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Place Great Northern beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain water and transfer beans to a large stockpot.
  • Mix ham hocks, water, celery, onion, carrot, garlic, thyme, black pepper, and bay leaf with beans in the stockpot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until ham is coming off the bones, about 2 hours.

I've been making this soup for years and it's always a hit. The ham and beans are a classic combination, and the addition of vegetables and spices makes it even better. I like to serve it with a side of crusty bread.

This ham and bean soup is a winter staple in our house. It's hearty, flavorful, and perfect for a cold night. I love that it's so easy to make, too. Just throw everything in the pot and let it simmer away.
