For a richer flavor, consider using ham broth instead of chicken bouillon. Adding a smoked ham hock while simmering will deepen the smoky flavor. Feel free to experiment with other beans, such as navy or cannellini beans. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh parsley adds a lovely finishing touch.
