Steps

1. Soak the Beans

Put the beans and 2 tablespoons salt in a large bowl and cover with enough water so that there are at least two inches of water sitting above the beans. Let soak at room temperature for at least 8 hours or up to overnight.

2. Drain and Prep the Beans

When you’re ready to cook, drain the remaining water off the beans. Place the beans in a 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven or other large pot. Add the 8 cups water, andouille, ham hocks, bell peppers, onion, celery, garlic, garlic powder, Creole seasoning, oregano, white pepper, cayenne, and bay leaf.
