It's so good, it's worth the gastric consequences!

2 lbs. ham shank
1 lb. package great northern beans
2 qts. water
1 medium onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 medium carrot, sliced
1/2 tsp. salt
6 peppercorns
1 tsp. leaf basil

Soak beans overnight in the water. Add remaining ingredients and simmer
(covered) for 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Remove shank bone and return ham to soup.

This can also be made with split peas: Disregard soaking and reduce cooking
time to 1-1/2 to 2 hours (use 1 lb. package of split peas).
