Soak beans for 8 hours or overnight.
Fill up a round dutch oven with water, leaving enough room for beans.
Add ham hock and boil for 15 minutes uncovered.
Add dry seasonings, cover and simmer for another 15 minutes.
Add beans and the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil for 10 minutes. Cover and simmer for at least 4 hours.
