- 2 medium celery stalks, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cooked ham, diced
- 1 15-ounce can canned diced tomatoes

- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the diced ham to the pot and stir well to combine, cooking for about 2 minutes.
Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices, the drained and rinsed white beans, and the chicken or vegetable broth.
Add the dried thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot.
