• 0 teaspoon Salt (optional, to taste)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all your ingredients by peeling, dicing, and mincing the vegetables as specified in the ingredient list.

Step 2

Lay the diced ham, Great Northern beans, carrots, celery, onion, and minced garlic into the bottom of your crock pot or slow cooker.

Step 3

Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the ingredients, ensuring everything is evenly covered with liquid.

Step 4

Add the dried thyme, bay leaf, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper into the pot. Stir gently to incorporate the spices.

Step 5

Cover the crock pot with its lid and set to cook on low heat for 6–8 hours, or on high heat for 3–4 hours. Stir occasionally if possible.

Step 6

Check the seasoning in the last 30 minutes of cooking and add salt if needed. Depending on the saltiness of the ham and broth, this may not be necessary.
