Made 13 bean soup tonight.

1 package 13 beans
3 ham hocks
1 med onion
8 cloves garlic
2 celery stalks, also some of leafy portion
1 can diced tomato
2 can tomato sauce

salt, pepper, chilli powder, bay leaves to taste.

soaked beans over night, placed in crockpot on low with ham hocks in a.m., with onion and garlic.

Had to transfer to bigger pot in evening to add other ingredients, plus beans were not quite done yet.

After about 1 hour of additional simmering, it came out pretty close to perfection.

EDIT: Looks like I made a gallon, maybe a gallon and a half or so. Plenty for family and leftovers.
