This bean soup is thickened with a mash of potatoes, cauliflower, and carrots. Delicious comfort food! It is gluten-free and can be made dairy-free by using olive oil instead of butter and unsweetened soy milk in place of cow's milk. Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 Yukon Gold potato, peeled and diced
½ head cauliflower, chopped
12 baby carrots
¼ cup warm milk
1 tablespoon butter, divided
¼ cup diced onion
¼ cup diced celery
½ teaspoon dried thyme
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¾ cup diced ham
1 (14 ounce) can navy beans, undrained
1 cup chicken broth
1 (14 ounce) can navy beans, drained
1 clove garlic

Directions

1. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add potato, cauliflower, and carrots; cover and steam until very tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer potato mixture to a bowl and add milk and 1 1/2 teaspoons butter. Mash with a potato masher or hand mixer until smooth.
2. Melt 1 1/2 teaspoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; saute onion, celery, thyme, salt, and pepper until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add ham and cook and stir until ham is warmed, about 2 more minutes. Stir undrained navy beans and chicken broth into ham mixture, increase heat to high, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer.
3. Blend drained navy beans and garlic together in a blender until smooth. Stir bean mixture into soup; simmer, stirring often, until soup thickens, about 10 minutes. Stir potato mixture into soup and simmer, stirring often, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
