Ham and Bean Soup instructions

1. Soak the beans overnight in cold water..
2. Finely chop the carrots and celery into pieces no larger than a 1/4 inch. They should be about the same size as the beans..
3. Rough chop ham into about one inch chunks. Combine all ingredients and simmer for at least 4 hours until the beans are tender..
4. Once the beans are tender and the broth has started to become a bit cloudy from the beans starting to breakdown use the back of a ladle and mash a few times. This will add a slightly thicker creamier texture, an immersion blender can be used too. Serve with biscuits or cornbread..
