My Sister's Navy Bean Soup image

I'm shameless about scrounging a ham bone so I can make this soup! If the "donation" has been scraped pretty clean of meat, I'll purchase a less expensive boneless dinner ham, use the center portion for dinner or a couple of breakfasts and run the ends through the food processor to supplement my soup.
