This one warms you right up on a cold day.

1 cup dried Great Northern beans
1 cup diced good quality ham 
1/2 cup diced celery
salt and pepper to taste
vinegar to serve, if desired

 

Add ingredients to a large soup pot, cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce heat to medium low and simmer about 2 hours. Taste and adjust as desired.
Serve with vinegar.

We were just talking about ham and beans last night. Have you ever put a can of stewed tomatoes in yours?
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 29, 2010, 2:53pm UTC
In our 15 bean soup, we add tomatoes. I LOVE it that way!

Have you ever tried bacon in your beans instead of ham?
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 29, 2010, 3:22pm UTC
I have done bacon and ham, but never just bacon.
Sandy Moore Oct 29, 2010, 3:48pm UTC
It changes the flavor for sure.
Ms Lee P. Oct 29, 2010, 2:40pm UTC
Oh Lordy! I love ham and bean soup. Thanks for the recipe.
David W. Oct 29, 2010, 2:50pm UTC
Funny, I purchaced a hamsteak and white beans, (canned) yesterday for this soup. Great minds run together. :-)

GMTA, I always say :)

I just came across this one: GMEA or Great Minds Eat Alike ...
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 29, 2010, 4:15pm UTC
I love that!! Gotta steal it ;)
John S. (arizona) Oct 29, 2010, 2:56pm UTC
Works for me!
Thanks.
Marianne M. Oct 29, 2010, 3:59pm UTC
Mmmm ... yummy, Shan!

This looks delicious. I love beans. They make me feel musical.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 29, 2010, 4:15pm UTC
I bet :)
Donald M. Oct 29, 2010, 4:16pm UTC
Those are my favorite of all beans. I have never added celery, will have to try that. I do put bacon most of the time. Donald loves ham, I love bacon. We agree to eat what we can get. Of course some things I absolutely cant.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 30, 2010, 10:35am UTC
My fave bean is probably the red bean. As in red beans and rice.
Donald M. Oct 30, 2010, 7:12pm UTC
I love red beans too and rice seperatly. Donald loves his mixed together.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 31, 2010, 8:45am UTC
I love 'em both ways :)
RedBird. B. Oct 29, 2010, 5:24pm UTC
This sounds wonderful for Dinner. It is cooling down quite a bit here, so Soups and Stews are going to be on my menu until Spring. :)
Thank-You for the Great Recipe.

I love, love, love this soup, but it needs onions. Okay, I put onions in almost everything. :o)
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 30, 2010, 9:10am UTC
I thought about onions, but by the time I did it was too late.
Robin G. Oct 30, 2010, 2:38pm UTC
I'm with Sassafrass. Oh, and maybe a carrot or two also.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Nov 1, 2010, 12:05pm UTC
Carrot adds a sweetness I just don't care for anymore.
