Ingredients

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.

Time P1DT3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package 15-bean soup mix
6 cups chicken stock
1 ham bone with some meat
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped carrots
½ stalk celery, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 bay leaves
2 cups chopped ham
2 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring
1 ½ tablespoons ground mustard powder
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Place bean mix into a large bowl and cover with several inches of water; soak for at least 24 hours. Drain completely.
Bring chicken stock to a boil in a pot large enough to hold the beans and, eventually, the ham bone. Add the soaked beans; reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 1 hour.
Bring stock and beans back to a boil. Add ham bone, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and bay leaves. Reduce heat to low and simmer until vegetables are soft, about 1 hour. Add chopped ham, liquid smoke, and mustard powder. Stir and let simmer until flavors blend, about 30 minutes more.
Remove ham bone from the soup. Season with salt and pepper.
