Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 tsp canola oil
3 large carrots, chopped
2 stalk(s) celery, chopped
2 small onions, chopped
2 clove garlic, chopped fine
1 c ham, diced (i use half a ham steak)
4 to 6 c chicken broth, reduced sodium, fat free
1 can(s) black beans, 15 oz. (drained and rinsed)
1 can(s) great northern beans, 15 oz (drained and rinsed)
1 can(s) dark red kidney beans, 15 oz (drained and rinsed)

Steps:

1. Heat 1 teaspoon of Canola oil in a cast iron pot (dutch oven). Medium heat is good.
2. 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.
6. Enjoy with a big hunk of crusty bread, butter and Table Syrup!

Tips

- To make the soup heartier, use canned beans instead of dried beans. - Add a tablespoon of chopped fresh rosemary or thyme for extra flavor. - Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. - For a lower-carb option, use shirataki noodles instead of pasta. - To make the soup spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika. - Garnish the soup with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.
