Bean Soup

1. 1

   Gather all the ingredients.

   Rinse the beans, then transfer them to a large stockpot and add water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes; remove from the heat, cover, and let sit for 1 hour.

3. 3

   Add the ham bone, diced ham, onion, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the beans are soft, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the carrots and celery; cook until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.

5. 5

   Remove the ham bone from the pot and set it on a cutting board until cool enough to handle. Remove any meat from the bones and cut it into bite-sized pieces.

6. 6

   Stir the meat back into the soup until warmed through. Serve and enjoy!
