In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add ham; cook, stirring frequently, until browned, about 3 minutes. 2. Add onion and bell pepper to pan; cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and black pepper; cook, stirring, for 1 minutes. 3. Add broth, bay leaves, and oregano to pan; bring ham mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in beans and simmer until mixture thickens slightly, about 15 minutes. Stir in parsley and sherry. Remove bay leaves. Ladle soup into individual bowls. Serve immediately. Variation: substitute one can of white beans for one can of black beans. Remember: use a slotted spoon to remove and discard the bay leaves from the soup. Bay leaves are used exclusively for flavor - they should not be eaten.
