Ingredients
3 Bean Soup Mix, Bob's Red Mill, 2 cupsShank Portion Smoked Ham, 16 oz Hunt's Tomato Sauce, 425 gram(s) Onions, raw, 1 cup, choppedChili powder, 2 tbspSalt, 1 tspWater, tap, 10 cup (8 fl oz)
Directions
1 Day Before: Soak Beans in 6 cups of water overnight.

Next Day, drain the water & pour beans into an 8 Qt soup pot. Add 10 cups of fresh water & one ham hock* (see note below). Bring to a boil on stove top. At boil, reduce heat and partially cover - simmer for 2 hours.

At 2 hours, add chopped onions, tomato sauce & spices & mix. Continue to simmer for another hour.

Remove ham hock from pot & set aside for a few minutes to cool. Remove meat from ham hock & shred. Add meat into soup mix.

Taste test for any additional spices & adjust if needed.

Stock should be reduced by half when soup is complete, or after approximately 3.5 hours.

*Before I add the ham shank to soup, I trim off as much of the fat as possible & then rinse meat under cool water to remove as much excess salt as possible.
