First step
Cook the beans. Wash the white beans with cold water and check them for any rocks.
Second step
Mix the ingredients together. Put the washed beans, diced onion, ham hocks, salt, and pepper in a slow cooker.
Third Step
Put water in. Add enough water to cover the beans by about 2 inches (around 6-8 cups).
Fourth Step
Chef: Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for around 1.5 hours. Next, lower the heat and let it cook for another 4-5 hours until the beans are tender.
Fifth Step
Cut the meat into small pieces. After cooking, take out the ham hocks from the pot and tear the meat into small pieces.
The sixth step.
Include brown sugar. Depending on how thick the soup is, you can pour out approximately 1 cup of liquid. Mix the brown sugar into the mixture, and then put the shredded meat back into the slow cooker. Stir everything together carefully.

Helpful Tips
Preparing the beans: For a smoother texture, think about soaking the white beans overnight. This can make cooking faster and ensure food cooks evenly.
Improving Taste: You can also include garlic, carrots, or celery to enhance the taste and health benefits. Fresh herbs such as thyme or bay leaves can also enhance the flavor of the dish.
Making things consistent. If you like your soup thicker, crush some of the beans on the pot's side with a spoon before putting in the brown sugar.
Storage: This refers to the act of keeping things in a specific place for future use. This soup can be kept in the fridge for a week, and its flavors improve over time. It also stays fresh in the freezer, which makes it a good choice for preparing meals in advance.
Ideas for how to serve. Serve with crunchy bread or a basic green salad to complete the meal.
