This recipe is easy, healthy, and packed full of protein. My Great-Aunt used to make this all the time. I just revamped it to make it a little more colorful.

How To Make ham and three bean soup

    Heat 1 teaspoon of Canola oil in a cast iron pot (dutch oven). Medium heat is good.

    Saute carrots, celery, and onion until translucent. About five (5) minutes
  • 3
    Add garlic, ham, and chicken broth. Bring to slow boil.
  • 4
    Reduce heat and add three types of beans. (Sometimes I will mash some of the great northern beans first, to thicken the soup)
  • 5
    Put on the lid and let it simmer for as long as you need it to simmer. You can eat it right away or let the flavors "marry" first.
