   Wash the beans and pick them over. Cover with water and let soak
   overnight. Drain the soaked beans. Put the beans in a large pot. Add
   2 qts. of water and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and simmer 2
   1/2 to 3 hours. Add all the other ingredients and simmer another 45
   mins.
   
   If you want, you can also add 1 C of diced potatoes. This is a
   wonderful soup!
   
   Gayes notes:  I used 1/4 lb smoked turkey instead of the hamhock.
   Also, I used 2 9 oz cans of tomatoes.  Next time, I will only use one
   can.
