The Best Bean and Ham Soup

Recipesfull introduces to you: Pork Recipes. (The Best Bean and Ham Soup). I make this hearty soup using the ham bone from our Easter spiral ham. I serve it with corn muffins and fresh fruit. It makes a huge pot of soup, so invite some friends or just freeze several portions for later use. Remember to soak the beans the night before you make the soup.
