Creamy Bean and Ham Soup

This is a great way to use up that left over ham we always have after a big Sunday Dinner.

Left Over Ham* cubed
1/2 c onion, chopped
1 clove garlic minced
1 pt heavy cream
1 can chicken broth
2 cans Great Northern Beans
2 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/8 t pepper
1 T Worchesterchire sauce

Mix all ingredients except cream and heat through. Remove from heat and add cream. Return to heat on low until warmed through, you don't want to boil the soup after the cream has been added.

*A great way to cook your ham is to take a butt or shank portion, put it in a turkey bag, and pour a liter of sprite (with sugar) over the top of it. Slip it in the oven at 225 for at least 8 hours. Very inexpensive (if you get the ham on sale) and delicious!
