Country Kitchen Calico Bean Soup image

Yum! This soup couldn't be any easier to make! The hardest part is chopping the ham, onions, and celery...and how hard can that be? This is almost exactly like a soup which was served at a local Country Kitchen restaurant that closed several years ago. Enjoy!
