Yeah, the larger ttmeooas are suffering with the gloom. I'm getting lots of cherry/grape ttmeooas though. Still, I am impatient for the hot summer veggies like squash, ttmeooas, cucumbers, radishes, carrots .One can only live so long on sugar snap peas!

2 (16 ounce) cans no-salt-added chicken broth, divided\\
2 (19 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and divided\\
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (about 1 clove)\\
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can no-salt-added stewed tomatoes, undrained and chopped\\
1-1/2 cups chopped reduced-fat, low-salt ham\\
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil or 1 tablespoon dried basil\\
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper\\
1/4 teaspoon salt\\
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese\\
Fresh basil sprigs (optional)

Position knife blade in food processor bowl. Combine 1 can broth, 1 can beans, and garlic in a food processor or a blender; process until smooth.\\
Pour mixture into a Dutch oven; add remaining broth, remaining beans, tomato, and next 4 ingredients. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and simmer 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.\\
Ladle soup into individual bowls; sprinkle evenly with cheese. Garnish with basil sprigs, if desired.

Note: To chop fresh basil quickly, stack leaves in a pile, roll them up like a newspaper, and slice thinly with a large chef's knife. Then chop the thin slices using a back and forth rocking motion with the knife blade.
