Bean Soup with Ham and Kielbasa

Savory, hearty soup for a chilly day.

This version of a classic soup, the perfect second act for a baked bone-in ham, maintains a balance between leaving some meat on the bone to flavor the broth, and reserving some to be added at the end of the cooking time for its full rich 'hammy' taste.
