I love this soup! My boyfriend, who doesn't like ham, loved this soup. Certainly you can add different spices to fit your taste, but don't let that detract you from giving this 5 stars. I tried some with the nutmeg, and although it was still good, I liked it better without nutmeg and with some garlic salt and pepper. I don't understand people who said this was not thick enough. I made it just as written, and it was plenty thick. (I had potato flakes waiting to put into it like some reviewers said, and I didn't need to add them.) Actually, I had to add 2 more cups of water while it was cooking for the 40 min. The recipe didn't say whether to cook with the lid on or off; I didn't put a lid on it. I can't wait to have another ham bone to make this again! -- 1/6/10 I have made this again, and I doubled the recipe because my ham bone was so big; it made a ton. I do now understand that sometimes it comes out thin. I had to add potato flakes to get this to a good consistency. Not sure what was different this time except for doubling it. Still, it's an excellent soup.
