Instructions

1
Dice the onion, carrots, and celery. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and cook the vegetables until softened, about 7 minutes.
2
Add minced garlic and thyme and cook 1 minute.
3
Stir in the ham and cook 2 minutes to bring out its smoky flavor.
4
Drain and rinse the beans and add them with the stock and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then simmer 20 minutes.
5
Mash a cup of the beans against the side of the pot to thicken the broth.
6
Discard the bay leaves, season with black pepper and salt to taste, and serve with cornbread or crusty bread.
