Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large pot and once hot, carefully swirl it around the pot to make sure the bottom is evenly coated. Add the 1 pound of ham and allow it to cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often.

Pour in the 5 cups (reserving 1 cup for later) of the low sodium chicken broth or stock. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the 2 pounds fresh green beans and 4 medium quartered red potatoes.

Step #4

Cover the pot with a lid and allow the beans to cook for about 1 hour, until the green beans have softened a bit and the potatoes are fork tender.

Taste the green beans and if any additional salt, ground black pepper, or hot sauce is needed then you may add it to your preference. Serve warm and enjoy!
