1 pound dried beans ( marrow, Navy, Pea, or great northern)
Smoked ham bone with some meat on it
3 Meduim potatoes, cooked and mashed
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
2 gloves garlic, minced

Wash and soak beans overnight in water to cover. Next morning, add water to make 5 quarts. Add ham bone and simmer about 2 hours. Add potatoes, onion, celery and garlic. Simmer 1 hour. Remove bone ,cut up meat and return to soup. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Makes 4 1/2 quarts.



Ok I don`t know what Marrow beans are. I will be using Great Northern beans, since I am not big fan of peas.
