Winter Navy Bean & Ham Soup image

This is something I like to cook up when I have some leftover ham from the New Years on a cold winter evening. I have made this with turkey kielbasa sausage, or you could use any kind of salted meat. This is identical to the recipe I use for black-eyed peas on New Years Day. Serve with corn bread and green salad.
