CIAO WHITE BEANS CAN 400GR

Navy beans (so named because they've been a staple in the U.S. Navy since the 1800s) add a hint of mild flavor to many favorite recipes.
Hearty Navy Beans Soup
3 cups (1-1/2 pounds) canned navy beans
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup smoked slice beef
2 cups chicken broth
2-1/2 cups water
Salt and pepper to taste
Minced fresh parsley
Place in a Dutch oven. Add the tomatoes with juice, onion, smoked slice beef, broth, water, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until beans are tender, about 1-1/2 hours.
Add more water if necessary. (For a thicker soup, cool slightly, then puree beans in a food processor or blender and return to pan.) Return ham to soup and heat through. Garnish with parsley.
