Rinse the 15-bean mix thoroughly and soak them in water overnight or for at least 8 hours.
Drain and rinse the beans again before cooking.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced ham to the pot and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the soaked beans, diced tomatoes (with their juice), paprika, cumin, chili powder, and bay leaf.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 2 hours, or until the beans are tender.
Stir occasionally and add more broth or water if needed to keep the beans submerged.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your 15 Bean Soup with Ham!
