And is very warm and comforting...butter beans are a close relative to the fava bean, but if you dont like them you can always swap with pasta instead :B

2 tablespoons butter
4 cans (15-1/2 ounces each) great northern beans, rinsed and drained (used 2 cans butter beans, rinsed)
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups cubed fully cooked ham
1 teaspoon chili powder (used 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes instead)
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 bay leaf

Directions

1. In a large saucepan, saute the carrots, celery and onion in butter until tender. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook for 15 minutes or until heated through. Discard bay leaf.
