Senate Bean Soup

- 2 lbs. navy beans
- 1 1/2 lbs. smoked ham hocks
- 2 cups cubed ham (optional)
- 1 large onion
- 1/2 stick margarine (1/4 cup or 4 Tbs.)

Instructions
Wash navy beans and run through hot water until beans are whit again. Put in large pot with 4 quarts hot water and ham hocks. Boil slowly for approximately three hours. After two hours, add the two cups of cubed ham, which can be left-over baked ham or picnic ham slices cubed. (The extra ham makes this soup a complete meal when served with a salad or cornbread.)
