Ingredients

8 servings
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, (chopped)
  • 4 medium garlic cloves, (minced)
  • 6 cups fat free, low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Two 14.5-ounce cans white beans, (drained and rinsed)
  • 2 whole bay leaves
  • ham hock ((optional))
  • 2 cups chopped smoked ham
  • One 14.5-ounce can petite diced tomatoes, (undrained)

Steps

  1. Heat the oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until tender, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic, and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add the broth, water, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper and bay leaves. If you happen to have a ham hock available to you, throw that in too. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat; simmer for about an hour. If you're not simmering a ham hock, then cover, reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.

  2. Add the beans and simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Remove the ham hock (if using).

  3. Place 1 cup of the bean mixture in a blender or food processor; process until smooth. Return the puréed bean mixture to the pan, add chopped ham and tomatoes and stir until blended. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the ham is heated through, and then serve.
