Sheila's Bean & Ham Soup image

This has always been a favorite soup of mine. I wanted to make my own version, through trial and error this is the version I landed on and like best. Ham can be omitted if a vegetarian version is desired. Serve with cornbread or a nice toasted sourdough. It is very fool proof.
