I added a lot more of everything. Two cups of cooked cubed ham,1 large sweet onion, 4 cloves of garlic, 2 cups of carrots, 2 cups of celery, 3 cups of cubed red potatoes,2 cans 540 ml of navy beans, 4 cups of unsalted chicken broth, 2 cups of water, fair amount of fresh ground black pepper, about 1tsp sea salt and 1 1/2 cups of frozen peas. I felt that the original recipe was too bland- didn’t have enough in it . I let it boil 20 minutes, simmer 1 hour and served next day when it was more flavourful. It was good- just good...., still seemed bland to me. Felt it needed something else to add more flavour but a big improvement over original recipe. Maybe if I had had a ham bone it would have been better. Just seemed to be lacking. My husband liked it. Guess I’m just more adventurous. Good Luck!
