White Bean Chowder
January is soup season, right ? This one is easy.
1# Great Northern dry beans - cover with water & soak overnight. Drain next day & place in big soup kettle.
Melt 2 Tblsp butter in fry pan then sauté vegetables about 4-5 minutes. Add to beans. Cover with chicken broth, 2” above mixture. Simmer at least an hour or two.
Diced carrots and diced celery (about a cup each). I add chopped celery leaves too.
Diced onion ( amount to your taste )
Add meat of choice. Diced ham, cubes of rotisserie chicken (my favorite ), or diced smoked sausage. Add fresh ground pepper & salt to taste. Simmer 5-10 minutes then add about 1 cup half & half. Simmer 10 minutes but DO NOT let it boil. Serve garnished with parsley.

Yes, January is soup month at my house. Your recipe sounds interesting. My problem is I never remember getting out the beans and soaking them the night before. Recently, I had some leftover pork roast. I added that to my base with some spice, and it was delicious. I think it would work here too.
