For a richer flavor, consider using smoked ham hock instead of a ham slice. Adding a splash of apple cider vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice at the end can brighten the flavors. If you prefer a thicker soup, mash some of the beans before simmering. Feel free to add other vegetables like celery or potatoes to customize the soup to your liking. Adjust the amount of water to achieve your desired soup consistency.
