Allow garbanzo beans to sit in water overnight; drain excess water and set aside.
Peel the garlic, onion, carrots and potatoes and set aside. Cook bones, chorizo and ham in a large pot in just enough water to cover. Add salt to taste.
When the water begins to boil, remove the excess foam. After 45 minutes, add the chickpeas, garlic, onion and carrots, whole. Cover pot and simmer for 45 minutes to an hour. When you are about 20 minutes until the end of your cooking time, add the potatoes.
I serve it at home as just one course. As a good Dominican, serve it with white rice and avocado pieces.
