Bob's Basic Navy Beans

Thank You Bob

1 lb Navy beans
1 cup onions, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup carrots, diced
8 oz ham
4 cups chicken broth, low sodium
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp sage
1 tsp black pepper
2 tsp salt
Soak beans overnight. Rinse and drain beans. Add beans and remaining ingredients to a dutch oven and bring to a boil. Simmer for approximately 3 hours or until beans are to your liking. For a thicker soup take a potato masher and mash pot of beans a couple of times, then stir.
You can also put all of the ingredients into a crock pot for the day.
