- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 2 cups cooked ham, diced
- 2 15-oz cans canned white beans (great northern or cannellini), drained and rinsed

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced celery to the pot. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
