White Bean Soup – The Very Best Way to Use a Ham Bone

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ham bone with meat
  • 1 lb white beans – I used Great Northern
  • 7 cups of water
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 3 small yellow onions or 2 larger ones, chopped
  • 1 t salt
  • few grinds of pepper from the mill
  • 1 sprig fresh tarragon, chopped
  • 1/4 c heavy cream

Instructions

 

  1. Rinse the beans and sort, taking out any misshapen beans
  2. Place beans, water, bay leaf and ham bone in pressure cooker
  3. Cook on high  for 30 minutes, let pressure come down naturally 
  4. Remove ham bone from beans and pick off any meat
  5. Remove and discard bay leaf
  6. In large dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat 
  7. Add chopped vegetables and saute for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly
  8. Add ham to dutch oven with the liquid and beans from the pressure cooker
  9. Let simmer about 30 minutes on low heat
  10. Add the tarragon
  11. Add the heavy cream
  12. Adjust salt and pepper to taste

For extra goodness, brush slices of baguette with olive oil and toast in a 400 degree oven until brown – about 15 minutes

Float a piece or two on top of the soup

I had mine with a lovely glass of Sangiovese and it really hit the spot!

    If I ever have a left over ham bone–that takes company–I will try this. Your presentation is always so appealing.

    Goodness, this looks tasty. I’m having ham and bean soup tonight, but I must confess – I bought it at Whole Foods.
