Ingredients

How to make it

  • Soak the dried beans over night in water
  • Drain the beans
  • Place the beans in a pot,
  • Cover with water to a depth of 3"
  • Simmer on low until the beans are tender (1-2 hours)
  • Drain, discard water, and return beans to pot
  • All add the remaining ingredients except the tomato sauce.
  • Simmer on very low for several hours, adding water or stock to keep the liquid at the starting level
  • Just before serving, remove the Bay leaf, remove the ham hock, shred the meat and return the meat to the pot.
  • Stir in the tomato sauce.
  • Simmer 15 more minutes and then serve.
  • When you remove the meat to shred it, you can also remove a cup of the beans and a cup of the broth. Puree it and return it to the pot with the meat. It will thickened the soup. My wife likes it prepared this way.

    This sounds really good, thanks for sharing it! Has my two favorite beans, plus so many other wonderful flavors. And I agree with with Mrs. Bojangles- I like my beans and soup thick too!
