What Type of White Beans Should I Use?
We use navy beans for the soup but feel free to use any type of white bean, such as cannellini beans or great northern beans. If you can find them, we recommend using low-sodium canned white beans to reduce sodium intake.
How Do You Thicken White Bean Soup?
This white bean soup is brothy with chopped vegetables and beans. If you prefer a thicker and creamier soup, you can blend half of the soup with an immersion blender or countertop blender. Blending half of the soup at the end thickens it and adds creaminess without cream. Start with pureeing 2 cups of the soup until smooth and creamy before adding it back to the remaining soup in the pot. Puree more soup if you prefer a thicker consistency.
How to Store Classic White Bean & Ham Soup
This soup can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to three days. To reheat, you can microwave the soup on High until warm.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
