Steps:

• Combine the beans, garlic, celery, ham hock, chicken broth, onion, carrot, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce in the crockpot.
• Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, then check to make sure the beans are tender. If it's too thin for your taste, uncover and continue to cook for 2 hours more. If not, uncover and cook for 1 hour more, or until thickened.
• Transfer the ham hock to a cutting board. Remove all the meat from the bone. Chop the meat into pieces and return it to the crockpot, stirring to combine. Serve hot.
