Directions
- Trim the roots and dark green ends from the leeks. Split leeks lengthwise, then rinse in a bowl of water (or under the faucet) to release any dirt. Cut the leeks, carrots, and celery into 1/2-inch dice. Mince the garlic.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the leeks, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Rinse the beans in a fine strainer, and pick through to remove any stones. Add beans to a 6 to 8 qt. slow cooker along with the vegetables, bay leaf, salt, pepper, thyme, chicken broth, water, and ham hock. Stir to combine.

It was delicious and enough for two meals; eat it, freeze it or share with a neighbor, for three people. I just wish I knew how to make it a little thicker soup, less water? flour? barley?

It’s a very simple but flavorful and satisfying meal. I didn’t have low sodium chicken broth and because ham hocks are pretty salty, I used less salt but it was still a little too salty for my taste. I think next time I would skip the salt at the beginning and just adjust at the end.

The recipe was great, but my ability to choose a good ham hock needs work. Great taste and texture. I will definitely be using this one again.

They didnt have ham hocks when I went shopping, so I substituted it for a pork jowl. The flavor was really tasty, but it needed more salt. took me 45 mins or so of prep work before I got it to the slow cooker. I think my slow cooker cooks way faster than the one for this recipe, as mine was super tender in 6 hours.

I really liked this recipe. A little different than my mom's but it was just as good.

This was excellent. Used one extra leek, and cooked ham, cut into cubes instead.

I had dry canellini beans which I soaked overnight. Delicious! I also used dried oregano instead of the fresh thyme. After sautéing the vegetables I deglazed pan with white wine. I will make these beans over and over!

Very good! I modified/improvised a bit and used canned white beans, left over honey baked ham, yellow squash and onion since my local grocery didn't have leek. Used all the same spices though. I will definitely make it again. I also used less water & broth since i didn't cook dry beans.
