Equipment

  • slow cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium carrots, finely diced
  • 2 stalks celery, finely diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley plus more for serving
  • 1 lb dried Great Northern or navy beans rinsed and picked over
  • 1 large smoked ham bone ham hock or ham shank

Instructions
 

  • Rinse and pick over beans, and transfer to a large bowl. Cover with water and soak overnight covered on the counter, or in the refrigerator.
  • Add broth, soaked (and drained) beans, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, spices and bay leaf to a slow cooker. Stir to combine. Add the ham bone and submerge in broth. Cover and cook on high until beans are tender, 6-8 hours.
  • Discard bay leaves. Remove ham bone and let sit until cool enough to handle. Once cool, shred ham meat and stir into the soup.
  • Season soup with additional salt and pepper, to taste (if desired).
  • If you want a thicker consistency, you can use an immersion blender or potato masher to mash up some of the beans.
