Nice!

Sopa Oaxaca (I first had this soup in Mexico. This recipe duplicates the real thing.)

Soak a bag of dry black beans overnight in 6 cups of water(or boil for an hour)
In the morning add:
The ham bone
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne
1 Bay leaf
Simmer this soup all day. Then remove the remaining meat from the ham bone, dice it up and return to the pot. Discard the bone.
Ladle into bowl. Garnish with diced monterey jack cheese, diced avocado and crumbled tortilla chips.

Lentil soup. Sweat some finally chopped carrots, onions and garlic with a couple tbs of oil, add some thyme, 2 quarts low sodium stock of choice, add the ham bone and lentils. Cook for about an hour on just above simmer, with a just barely open lid. Salt and pepper to taste. Good eatin.

If you use beans, just be sure that you cook the "wind" out of them else everyone else will enjoy the "fruits" of your labor.

I hate reading this now I'm wanting Navy bean soap!!! :S

Charleston 15 bean soup - soak the beans overnight, put with ham bone in a crockpot or stockpot with a big chopped onion, six chopped garlic cloves, bay leaf, chopped red & green peppers, carrots, fresh ground pepper.

Cook 3 hours on stove or six hours on low in crock. Pull out the bone midway, cut off the ham meat and chop it, set aside. Add a can of petite dice tomatoes including juice for the last hour. Return the chopped ham to the pot to heat well before serving.

Serve with cornbread and Tabasco sauce.

OMG!

No decision, Lima beans and Corn Bread on the side.

Red beans and rice.

Soak a pound of the SMALL red beans overnight in six cups of water...cook 'em on the stovetop 'til done, throw the hambone and whatever seasonings you like in the pot, and put it in the oven on about 250 for six hours or so. Lots of "gravy" is what you're lookin' for, so if things look a little dry add more water.

Serve over rice.

(Edited to add the celery!)

Cook it with a cabbage or pinto or great northern beans and corn bread.
