1 pk (16 oz) 15 or 10 Bean Soup

-included
2 Ham hocks or 1/2 pound ham

Sort and rinse beans. Combine beans, 7 cups water, beer, ham hocks,
seasoning packet in large 6-8 quart pan. Bring to boil and reduce to a
rapid simmer. Add chopped onions, celery, garlic and tomatoes to pan.
Simmer, covered, for at least 2 hours. Remove ham meat, chop fine, and add
rest of meat, cut into small chunks. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours more until
beans are soft.

*My notes: I did not use but about 4 cups of water, as we like it thicker.
And I had to cook it a long time, to get the big beans tender.

Luscious soup.
