-THINQ-
we used ham rather than hamhocks, and Anasazi beans. Using a spiral cut ham (part of it, not all) left us with a nice bone and easily forked chunks of ham in the soup. We also removed all of the fat that we could prior to cooking; ate two cups and was very very satisfied with just this for dinner. - 10/15/10
