Notes
If you don't have great northern beans substitute with navy beans.
If you have leftover ham from the holidays this is a great recipe to use them in.
You can always add diced onions, celery, carrots, or even zucchini to add an extra health benefit.
This isn't one of those set it and forget it soups. It does need to be stirred about every 5 minutes or so or it creates a thick layer on top
You can freeze this soup too for up to 3 months. Just cook and let cool, freeze in a freezer bag. When ready to eat thaw in refrigerator and warm in a pot over the stove or in the microwave.
I use beef broth, but chicken or vegetable works just as well. Ham really doesn't fall into any of those broth category so it's up to you which you choose.
