Great soup! I doubled the recipe, used 1 lb of dried white beans soaked and cooked the night before. As others suggested I added celery and garlic to carrots and onions and used chicken broth. I also added a ham bone when I added the broth, additional chopped ham, seasonings and beans and simmered for about 1 1/2 hours. Knowing my husband and I love soup and are hearty eaters, I would say that doubling the recipe will probably give us two meals, with a little bit left over. I will definitely make this again.
