  2. Add enough water to just cover the ingredients by about an inch.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low.
  4. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and vegetables to soften.
  5. Stir in the drained and rinsed great northern beans.
  6. Continue to simmer uncovered for another 15 minutes until the beans are heated through and the soup is slightly thickened.
  7. Season with salt, pepper, ketchup, and hot peppers to taste before serving.
