Taste of Home and Southern Living are my favorite recipe magazines(I enjoy reading a little bit about the people who submit the recipes). I love to try new recipes and jazz up old ones. Add celery, garlic, and thyme, and cook, stirring, until garlic is. Add onion and carrot and cook until onion is soft about 7 minutes. We have two grown children and 6 beautiful grandchildren. Step 1 In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. We live in San Jose, CA and have lived in the same house for over 33 years. After the military he started working for Lockheed and is now retired from there as well. My husband is a retired military officer. I am retired after working for the same company for 25 years. This is a picture of me with my oldest grandson, DJ and was taken this past summer when we went on a cruise and land tour of Alaska. If this is the case, I would add the ham at the same time you add the onions, carrots and celery. NOTE: If you don't have a meaty ham bone, you could subtitute 2 cups of diced ham in this recipe. ADD: This recipe made 13 2/3 cups of soup using my notations. I was probably at 2 1/2 hours (not including soaking the beans for 1 hour). The member listed cooking time of 4-6 hours. In other words, I deboned ham and cut into chunks and then covered and simmered for an addional hour. and (8) Reversed steps number seven and eight. I did make some notations: (1) Omitted the chicken bouillon granules, (2) Added 1 tsp dried celery seeds, (3)Omitted the "handful of chopped celery leaves," (4)Cooking time at step number five was reduced to 1 hour because beans were soft, (5) Used the recommended low sodium chicken broth, (6) Used 2 larged potatoes, cut into cubes, (7)Briefly used an immersion blender to thicken up the soup. By using dried beans you control what your family eats! I'll be using some of this soup this week and then freezing the rest in portion sizes to take for lunches. I know many people shy away from using dried beans, but the method that this member used in the recipe is fool-proof. Fabulous!!! It is really worth taking the time to make this recipe. At the end of cooking, remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaves and discard. Bring to a boil over high heat, and then reduce the heat and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Just finished making and tasting this recipe. Stir in the diced ham, potatoes, beans, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves.
