Hearty Chicken Ham and White Bean Soup: A Comforting Classic
Ingredients:
Base Ingredients:

1 lb (2 cups) dried white beans (such as cannellini or navy beans), soaked overnight, or 2 cans (15 oz) white beans, rinsed and drained
1 large chicken ham bone or 2 cups diced chicken ham
8 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
1 large onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
2 celery stalks, sliced
2 bay leaves
Seasonings:

1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for a smoky depth)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Garnishes:

Fresh parsley, chopped
Crusty bread or rolls, for serving
Directions:

Prepare the Beans

If using dried beans: Drain the soaked beans and rinse thoroughly.
If using canned beans: Rinse and set aside.
Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
Add the Chicken Ham and Broth

Place the chicken ham bone (or diced chicken ham) into the pot with the sautéed vegetables.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring the chicken ham bone is submerged.
Add the drained beans, bay leaves, dried thyme, and smoked paprika (if using).
Simmer the Soup

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
Cover and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours if using dried beans, or 30-40 minutes if using canned beans.
Stir occasionally, scraping the bottom of the pot to prevent sticking.
Check for Doneness

When the beans are tender, remove the chicken ham bone from the pot.
If the chicken ham bone has any meat left, shred it and return it to the soup. Discard the bone and bay leaves.
Season and Serve

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
Pro Tips for the Best Chicken Ham and White Bean Soup

Use a Chicken Ham Bone: A chicken ham bone adds incredible flavor to the broth, but diced chicken ham works wonderfully as well.
Blend for Creaminess: For a thicker texture, blend a cup of the soup and stir it back into the pot.
Customize Vegetables: Add leafy greens like kale or spinach, or toss in diced potatoes for extra heartiness.
Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.

Strawberry-Cherry Pie

Ingredients:

1/4 pound diced fresh strawberries
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup instant tapioca
Your favorite pie dough recipe—enough for a 9-inch double-crust pie
1 1/2 pounds pitted cherries
Pinch of salt
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions:

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

Roll pie dough 1/8 inch thick until large enough to fit into your prepared pie plate with 1 inch of overhang all around.
Brush the bottom of the pie crust with vanilla extract and sprinkle with granulated sugar to help keep it from getting soggy.
Roll out the remaining pie dough into a circle about 1/8 inch thick and refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
Step 2: Make the Filling

Combine the cherries and strawberries in a large bowl.
Mix the sugar, tapioca, salt, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the fruit and mix well.
Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract and toss to coat. Allow the filling to sit for about 30 minutes to draw off extra juices.
Using a mesh or slotted spoon, spoon the filling into the chilled bottom crust, discarding the leftover juices.
Step 3: Assemble the Pie

Remove the circle of dough from the refrigerator. Use a cookie cutter in the center (or cut slits) to create a vent for steam.
Carefully transfer the pie top over the filling and decorate as desired. Crimp the edges as desired.
Step 4: Add Final Touches

Brush the top of the pie with melted butter, an egg wash, milk, or heavy cream to achieve a golden crust.
Sprinkle with granulated or sparkling sugar, if desired.
Step 5: Bake the Pie

Place a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet on the center or bottom rack of the oven and preheat to 350°F.
Cover the edges of the pie with foil or a pie crust shield.
Place the pie on the preheated baking sheet and bake until the crust is golden and the pie is bubbling vigorously, about 60 to 65 minutes, checking after 35 minutes for browning. Rotate the baking sheet for even browning.
Step 6: Cool and Serve

Let the pie cool for at least 3 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.

When ready to use, sprinkle the surface and rolling pin with flour. Roll dough into two circles approximately 1/8 inch thick.
