WHITE BEAN AND HAM HOCK SOUP!!!

Why is it that some stews and soups improve the next day? I think it’s because the flavors from the beans, ham, and vegetables have time to blend. The starch from the beans settles more into the broth making the soup thicker and more stew-like too.

INGREDIENTS

1 pound dried Great Northern Beans
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
7 cups homemade or quality low-sodium chicken or turkey stock
1 smoked ham hock
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

DIRECTIONS

Rinse and sort beans to remove any debris. Soak beans in a large pot of cold water overnight. You can also do a quick soak instead of the overnight soak. To quick soak beans, Place rinsed and sorted beans in a large pot or dutch oven. Cover with 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil over high heat; once boiling turn off heat and cover. Let sit for 1 hour.

In a large pot or dutch oven, heat oil over medium-low heat. Add onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt; saute until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Strain the water from the soaked beans.

To the onions add stock, ham hock, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes then add beans and continue to simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours uncovered until the beans are tender. 5 minutes before the beans are finished, add the oregano and parsley and stir. Remove the ham off of the ham hock, chop, and return to the soup, if desired. Taste and add any additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm.
