Main Ingredients
- 1 lb Dried white beans soaked overnight
- 1 lb Ham hock
- 1 Onion chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 2 Carrots chopped
- 2 Celery stalks chopped
- 8 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Thyme dried
- 1 teaspoon Salt to taste
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper to taste
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the soaked beans, ham hock, chicken broth, thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 2 hours, or until beans are tender and the soup has thickened.

5. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot.
