White Bean and Ham Soup

Okay, finally, here is the recipe for the soup that I make using the leftover hambone. You could use any kind of beans you like, or lentils or split peas, I just like white beans best.

White Bean and Ham Soup

1 lb. white or other beans, rinsed and soaked overnight

1 meaty hambone

1 sm. onion, chopped

2 cubes chicken bouillon

1/2 tsp. celery salt

1 bay leaf, salt and pepper

Rinse and drain your soaked beans. Place all ingredients in a crock-pot. Fill with enough water to cover beans (about 6-8 cups). Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours. Remove bay leaf and bone, chop meat into small pieces, and add meat back to soup. Serve with hot bread or rolls.
