There's nothing more satisfying than home cookin', and there's nothing more home cookin' than a thick, hearty soup on a fall or winter's day. This is a very basic, traditional soup using a ham bone and the trimmings from a baked ham, pre-sliced or not. If you bake your own hams but have been throwing out the bone, you're missing out on something very special!

Steps:
- Place beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let soak, 8 hours to overnight.

- Reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours. Add potatoes and carrots, and continue to simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Season with salt if necessary and remove ham bone to serve.
