Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups cooked ham, diced
- 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 cups white beans, canned or pre-cooked
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 whole bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Set a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once heated, sauté the chopped onion until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Prepare the crock pot by adding the cubed potatoes as the base layer.
Layer the diced ham, white beans, sautéed onion and garlic on top of the potatoes.
Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the ingredients are submerged. Stir gently to combine.
Add the salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and the bay leaf for seasoning. Mix gently.
Set the crock pot to low and cook for 6 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the flavors are well combined.
Once cooking is complete, remove the bay leaf and taste the broth. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve warm in bowls and optionally garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
