 Categories: Beans, Vegetables, Pork
      Yield: 10 Servings

  1 1/2 lb Dried navy beans
 14 1/2 oz Can diced tomatoes;
           - undrained
      1 lg Onion; chopped
      1    Meaty ham hock -OR-
      1 c  Cooked ham; diced
      2 c  Chicken broth
  2 1/2 c  Water
           Salt & pepper
           Fresh parsley; minced
           - (optional)

  Rinse and sort beans; soak according to package. Drain and rinse
  beans, discarding liquid. Place in a Dutch oven. Add the tomatoes
  with juice, onion, ham hock, broth, water, salt, and pepper. Bring
  to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until beans are tender,
  about 1-1/2 hours.

  Add more water if necessary. Remove ham hock and let it stand until
  cool enough to handle. Remove meat from bone; discard bone. Cut
  meat into bite-sized pieces; set aside. For a thicker soup, cool
  slightly, then puree beans in a food processor or blender and
  return to pan. Return ham to soup and heat through. Garnish with
  parsley if desired.
