Time 11h45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ham bone with meat
4 quarts water
1 pound dry great Northern beans
2 cups diced fully cooked ham
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons dry sherry
salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Combine ham bone and 4 quarts of water in a large stock pot of Dutch oven at least the night before. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 12 hours.
  • In the meantime, place beans in a large pot with water to cover; soak overnight. Drain beans the next day and return to the pot.
  • Remove ham bone from the pot and pick off any edible meat. Strain the stock and measure out 3 quarts for the soup. Remaining stock can be frozen.
  • Pour 3 quarts of stock over the soaked beans. Add ham, celery, carrots, onion, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover, tilting the lid to allow steam to escape, and simmer until beans are tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Add sherry in the last 30 minutes of cooking and season with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle soup into bowls and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

HAM BONE SOUP

Categories     Sauce     Side     Easter     Ham     Simmer     Boil

Yield makes 3 to 4 quarts / serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/2 cups (about 1 pound) dried flageolet or navy beans
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, chopped
4 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
4 garlic cloves, smashed and minced
Leftover ham bone, with some meat left on the bone
4 quarts cold water
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons sea salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1 bunch collard greens (about 1 pound), washed and drained, stems removed and roughly chopped
White onion, sliced, for garnish
Hot sauce, for garnish

Steps:

  • Soak the beans overnight or, for a quick soak, place in a pot, cover with water, add salt, and boil for about 45 minutes, just until they begin to soften. Drain and rinse.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat until hot. Add the onions, reduce the heat to low, and cook and stir for about 10 minutes, until soft and light brown. Add the carrots and celery and continue to cook and stir for about 5 minutes longer, until the vegetables are tender. Add the garlic and continue to cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute.
  • Add the ham bone, beans, and cold water. Season with the bay leaves, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper and stir to mix. Bring to a low boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 2 hours, skimming the scum that rises to the top as needed, until the ham is falling off the bone and the beans are tender.
  • Remove the bone from the pot and remove and discard the bay leaves. When cool enough to handle, pick the meat from the bone, shred it, and return the meat to the soup, discarding the bone.
  • Stir in the collard greens and simmer for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the greens are wilted and tender. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper, if desired. Serve warm with lots of onion and hot sauce on the side.
