- In a medium saucepan bring beans and 2 c. of the water to a boil; boil for 2 min. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour.
- In a 5 1/2- to 6-qt kettle or possibly Dutch oven, heat butter. In it cook onion, leeks, and barley till onion is transparent. Stir in garlic, celery, and carrot and cook 2 to 3 min. Add in ham hocks (or possibly ham bone), remaining 6 c. water, beans and their liquid, bay leaf, and pepper.
- Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer till meat separates easily from bone (2 1/2 to 3 hrs). Remove ham hocks or possibly ham bone; when they are cold sufficient to handle remove and throw away bones and skin. Throw away bay leaf. Return meat in chunks to the soup.
- Gradually stir in lowfat milk and reheat to serving temperature (don't boil).
- Salt to taste. Sprinkle each portion with parsley or possibly chives, and serve.
