3 cans of great northern beans
1 TBS salt
2 cups chicken broth
3 cups cubed ham (leftover ham would be amazing)

3 cloves of minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano to taste
1/2 TBS freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 -4 bay leaves

Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6 hrs or until the veggies are tender.
Serve with some crusty French bread and enjoy!
