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.
