- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (with juices)

Rinse the beans and check for any debris. Add the beans into a large pot and cover with cool water. Soak at room temperature for at least 8 hours or overnight. Drain.

Remove the ham bone from the soup and remove the meat from the bone. Cut into bite-size pieces.

Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
