"Hi, this is Dave for Expert Village. Today we are going to make white bean soup with hamhocks and cornbread.

Go ahead and get a bowl and we are going to go ahead and put our beans right in just like that. What we want is regular water just enough to cover these so just like that it doesn't take that much.

There is also a quick soak method that you can see on the side of any package of these beans where you kind of simmer them as a primarily type of thing for a couple of hours.
