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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 3

Prepare the crock pot by adding the cubed potatoes as the base layer.

Step 4

Layer the diced ham, white beans, sautéed onion and garlic on top of the potatoes.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the ingredients are submerged. Stir gently to combine.

Step 6

Add the salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and the bay leaf for seasoning. Mix gently.

Step 7

Set the crock pot to low and cook for 6 hours, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the flavors are well combined.

Step 8

Once cooking is complete, remove the bay leaf and taste the broth. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Serve warm in bowls and optionally garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
