3. In a 3 quart pan fill just over half with cold water. Once beginning to heat add beans.
4. Once almost to a boil add pork neck, garlic and spices. Bring to a boil for 2 minutes.
5. Cover with tight lid and reduce to a simmer.
6. Simmer for 2 hours. Checking a few times, add water if needed.
7. For soup, after beans are tender, carefully puree in small batches.
8. Pour up and top with sour cream or cream fraiche'.
