Note

Substitute cannellini beans with borlotti or haricot beans for a different texture and flavor.

For a vegan version, omit the ham and use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of water if needed.

This soup is best served immediately while hot and fresh.
