I need to know what can be added to Great Northern beans and ham for soup. I don't have any broth. I do have carrots and celery available to use. What would be other ingredients to add?

Use the ham itself along with carrots, onion, and celery to make a broth. Cover all of it with water, bring to a boil, simmer, then add the beans later on. Salt and pepper the soup last or else your beans will come out tough.
Sounds like you have a good start (maybe even enough to freeze or save for a second meal).
Add water with a bouillon cube.
You don't need broth if you have the ham. The carrots and celery are great add some chopped onion and I always put some potatoes in my beans. Use red potatoes and add them last so they stay chunky. Salt pepper and a few red pepper flakes tops it off.
Be sure to add raw onion (chopped into small pieces) as a topping or garnish on each bowl of soup before setting them on the table.
I might have goofed up. I slow cookered the beans and ham already. I was planning other ingredients to add later.
It will be fine. Just start a soup pot by sauteeing diced onions, garlic, celery and carrots. Add in the cooked ham and beans and some herbs or spices and more broth or water.
I always add lentils and pearl Barley to Bean Soup, and I mix many different kinds of beans. I did this long before you could buy it mixed. And when I purchase my bags of dry beans, I buy black beans, pinto beans,navy beans, and kidney beans. And since I no longer use Ham because of the sat fat and the sodium, I usually add a little Cumin and a couple dashes of liquid smoke to fool my taste buds.
