Equipment
- Slow Cooker
- Can Opener
- Knife
- Cutting Board
Ingredients
- 2 cans (15 oz each) Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups diced cooked ham
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with juices
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add the diced onion, minced garlic, drained Great Northern beans, diced ham, diced tomatoes with juices, chicken broth, salt, and black pepper to the slow cooker.
- Stir everything together until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours until the beans are soft and the broth has thickened slightly.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil right before serving.
Notes
Stir the basil in only after cooking so it keeps its bright color and flavor. If the soup seems too thick at the end, add a splash more chicken broth to loosen it. Leftover portions reheat well on the stove with a little extra water to restore the original consistency.
