How to Prepare Best Ham and Bean Soup

In a 3 quart saucepan, saute ham, onion and garlic in butter until onion is tender.
Add the next seven ingredients; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Add peas and cook for 5 minutes. Add parsley and serve.

This soup was really good. I omitted the peas, but everything else was the same. It was really easy to make, and my husband approved.
