Bean and Ham Hock Soup by PegS

The final recipe was 8 cups broth, 1/2 lb of small lima beans, 1/2 lbs of small Northern beans, a med parsnip, two small carrots, an onion, six cloves of garlic, a handful of dried thyme, the ham hock, and some collard greens. The weird mix was my attempt to make as nutritious a mix as possible while still having it taste like a smokey white bean soup.
