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.

4 to 6 cups chicken broth, reduced sodium, fat free

How To Make ham and three bean soup

Step 1

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

Step 2

Saute carrots, celery, and onion until translucent. About five (5) minutes
Step 3

Add garlic, ham, and chicken broth. Bring to slow boil.
Step 4

Reduce heat and add three types of beans. (Sometimes I will mash some of the great northern beans first, to thicken the soup)
Step 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.
Step 6

Enjoy with a big hunk of crusty bread, butter and Table Syrup!
