Instructions

  1. 1

    Dice the ham, onion, and celery, and brown the ham in a Dutch oven with a little oil over medium heat, about 4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the onion and celery and cook 5 minutes until soft, then stir in the minced garlic and thyme.

  3. 3

    Add the drained beans, stock, and bay leaves, and simmer uncovered 25 minutes, stirring now and then, until the broth turns creamy.

  4. 4

    Mash a ladleful of beans against the pot to thicken, then season with hot sauce, salt, and plenty of black pepper.

  5. 5

    Discard the bay leaves and serve in bowls, ideally with warm cornbread.
