Dice the onions, celery, carrots, and mince the garlic. Heat a large pot on medium and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onions, celery, and carrots and stir until softened, about 6 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Pour in the vegetable stock, water, ham bone, beans, and seasoning. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for 1.5 - 2 hours, or until the beans are cooked through and soft.
With 30 minutes left, stir in the chopped ham.
Top with the chopped parsley and serve with crusty white bread and enjoy!
