Ham and Bean Soup

Here's my grandfather's recipe for Ham and Bean Soup, created from leftover ham from Christmas and other tasty fixings.

Ham and Bean Soup

1 cup each sliced or diced celery, cabbage and onion
1-2 TBS olive oil
2-4 cups chicken broth
1 cup diced ham
1/2 lb. sliced polish sausage
2-4 cups cooked white beans (great northern or navy)
1 tsp sugar
salt, red and black pepper to taste

Saute vegetables in oil until tender, add remaining ingredients and simmer.

Cornbread is an ideal accompaniment.
