The night before you plan to make this soup soak your beans! I used a 13 bean soup mix, store bought Red Mills brand. In the morning rinse and sort the beans. Add them to your crockpot and cover them with chicken stock. If you don't have homemade stock use a good store bought brand with lower sodium and nothing you cant pronounce added, I like Kitchen basics in the yellow box. Add your ham bone and 1-2 chopped celery stalks and carrots. Add pepper (no salt, the ham has enough) and a few bay leaves. Cook on low for at least 6 hours, or until the meat is falling from the ham bone and the beans are tender. Enjoy with some fresh crusty bread!
As always, happy eating!
