4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 3 cups)
4 cups of homemade or 1 (32 ounce) carton of chicken stock
2 cup celery, chopped
1 cup onion, chopped
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped or 2 Tablespoons dried
Instructions
Place ham, celery, onions, potatoes and stock in slow cooker.
Set on High and set probe for 160 or time for 3 hours.
Check for doneness, meat should pull away from bone.
You can cook your beans on your stovetop then add them to the mix if desired. I choose this method because I'm fussy about how tender (not mushy) my beans get! ;)
If you don't have a slow cooker, no worries! :)
Place ham, celery, onions and stock in large Dutch oven and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, and simmer about 2 hours or until meat easily separates from the bone.
Move meat to a plate and allow to cool slighty. Remove meat from bone, set aside.
Add potatoes and beans to stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook until tender.
Return meat to the pot, add parsley.
Serve on a plate or as a stew with the broth.
This goes great with salad or crusty bread!
