Stir the pot often, and smash the tender beans with a slotted spoon, develop the "white" viscosity and body in your bean soup. Remove the hock after an hour in a half, clean and slice and dice the scant meat from the joint, add back the meat. Discard the cartilage, bone, and skin. Or give it to the critters. It has given up the smoky ghost. Also, boil your beans down uncovered, between the amount of water that is sucked up by the beans, and evaporated by boiling,the bean soup should be thicker,

Serve with French's Mustard, Salt and Pepper, and Cornbread with butter and honey.
