Sauté Aromatics:

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté diced onions, garlic, carrots, and celery until softened and aromatic.

Bean Symphony:

Vegetable Infusion:

Simmering Serenity:

Bring the soup to a gentle simmer, letting it bubble away and allowing the ingredients to weave their flavors together.

Parsley Finale:

Stir in chopped parsley just before serving, infusing the soup with a burst of freshness.

Serve with Warmth:

Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each portion is brimming with ham, beans, and vegetables. Serve with crusty bread for the perfect pairing.
