1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped onions
1 large can chopped tomatoes
Salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme and dry mustard. (about 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1 teaspoon of the other spices


If making on top of the stove: Cover ham hock or ham pieces with water, cook 1/2 hour. Add 2 cups dried beans which have been soaked overnight and drained, 1 can tomatoes and 1 cup each of the celery, carrots, and onions. Cook for 2 1/2 hours. Season.

Crock pot: Rinse beans and put all ingredients in the crock pot for 8 hours. Add 2 plus cups of water. I cooked the soup on high. Frezzes well.
