Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ham
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 1 lb Green beans
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 3 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Thyme (optional)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the ingredients: dice the ham into bite-sized pieces, peel and cube the potatoes, trim the ends off the green beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces, dice the onion, and mince the garlic.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the ham to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
Pour the chicken broth into the pot and bring it to a simmer.
Add the cubed potatoes to the pot, along with the salt, black pepper, and thyme (if using). Cover and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, add the green beans to the pot. Stir everything together, cover again, and continue simmering for another 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes and green beans are tender but not mushy.
Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.
Serve hot in bowls, making sure each portion has plenty of ham, potatoes, and green beans. Enjoy!
