This healthy soup is great for cold days and sick days. When you get sick of chicken soup, try ham!

7 cups ham stock (if you don't have ham you can use vegetable or chicken)

3 cups diced honey ham (perfect use for leftovers!)

2 cans white kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 yellow onion, diced

1.50 cups sliced (short way) celery

2 cups baby carrots, cut into rounds

1 tsp basil

1 tsp oregano

2 bay leaves

Pour stock into pot. I had ham stock that I had made from a leftover spiral ham bone in my freezer so I had to melt it in the pot before doing anything else.

Add all ingredients to pot, cover, and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low to simmer. It should continue to gently boil.

Continue to simmer covered for 2 hours for flavors to meld together well. Taste halfway through and add salt and pepper to taste. If the broth tastes too strong for you add a 1-2 cups of water to dilute, return to boil, reduce again and continue cooking covered an additional hour.

Serve and enjoy!
