Whole30 Approved

You’ll Need:

• 1 pound smoked ham, cut into small cubes
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 8 carrots, peeled and sliced in ¼ inch rounds
• 2 white sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed in 2cm cubes
• 1 bunch rainbow chard, ends chopped, and greens sliced in thin ribbons
• 4 zucchini, cut into quarters, then sliced in ¼ inch slices
• 1 pound cremini mushrooms, cut in half then sliced
• 1 head celery, sliced in ½ inch slices
• Homemade vegetable stock
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 1 can organic green beans
• Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

In a large stock pot, sear the ham until golden, stirring regularly so that it doesn’t burn. Remove and set aside.

Deglaze the pot with stock, then add in the onions, cook for 5 minutes, then add in celery, carrots, and mushrooms. Stir and cook for about 15 minutes. Deglaze the pot with stock as needed. Add in the swiss chard stems, tomatoes, half of the sweet potatoes and green beans. Stir and cook for another 10 minutes. Cover with vegetable stock, bring to a boil, then simmer for 1 hour. Add in the diced ham,  zucchini, and chard leaves, and the other half of the sweet potatoes, cover and simmer for another 40 minutes.
