Ham Bean Soup

Ham and Bean soup
Today's variation on the old standard - drive by a desire to rid the cupboard of ziplocks with small amounts of a wide variety of dried legumes in them as well as the cold temperatures.

2 cups dry beans (I used white, red, black)
1 leftover ham bone (what do you mean you don't still have one from Easter in your freezer? I'd try substituting bacon and some chunks of ham)
1/2 c green split peas
2 cloves garlic
2 bay leaves
2 carrots
1 onion
pepper
salt
cumin?

Put the beans(not the peas!) in a pot with 1 tsp salt and water to cover and bring to a boil. Turn off and let sit for 1 hour. Drain the bean water and put beans and ham bone in crockpot/heavy bottom pot with about 5 cups water. Cook for 1 hourish. Remove ham bone, cut all the extra hammy-bits off and put in the soup. Throw out the now ham-less bone. Add everything else. Leave on the stove until you're ready to eat it. This only gets better with time so feel free to nap, etc. Serve with warm rolls (recipe to follow)
