Stovetop Ham & Bean Soup

If you’re using a ham hock with ham meat, you don’t have to add the additional cooked diced ham. We used a ham bone that didn't have much meat, so we added the extra diced ham. The saltiness of the broth will vary greatly depending on how well seasoned your chicken broth is and if the ham is salted. Make sure to taste the broth after cooking and adjust seasoning accordingly. Feel free to add more beans if desired. If you love beans, you can easily double the amount of beans in the recipe.
