Hearty Ham and Bean Soup

Use a bone-in ham for maximum flavor in the soup. As it simmers, the bone will provide even more flavor to the soup.

2. One chopped onion: The sweetness and depth of onion make it a common soup basis. Onions come in three colors: yellow, white, and red. Because of their milder taste, yellow onions are ideal for this soup.

If you want a more robust onion taste, try caramelizing the onions in olive oil first, then add the other veggies. Their inherent deliciousness is brought out by this.

The third ingredient is three sliced carrots, which provide a touch of texture, color, and sweetness. Not only are they delicious, but they also provide a healthy dose of vitamin A to this hearty soup.
