How to make southern bean soup:

Pick and wash beans; add beans to water. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes only. Cover and remove from heat and allow to stand 1 hour. (This is equal to 12 hours of soaking in cold water.) Add ham bone, garlic and bay leaf to water and beans. Bring back to boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 2 hours or until beans are almost done. Add remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer another hour. Remove ham bone and cut off meat and return meat to pot. Add skim milk. Delicious soup.
