Pick-Your-Beans and Ham Soup

Trim your ham of excess fat. Place ham in a stew pot just big enough to fit. Toss in the garlic, rosemary, celery salt and pepper. Add water JUST to cover ham. Bring to a boil, then turn heat to a medium-low setting and let simmer for an hour.

Remove ham and trim off the bone, shredding or cutting the meat into bite-sized pieces as you go. Strain the ham broth into another pot. Add ham pieces, diced tomatoes, and tomato soup. Simmer at medium-low heat for 30 minutes, then add the beans. Simmer for another 30 minutes.

Serve with crusty bread, garlic bread or your favorite rolls.
