This recipe was the first time I used a leftover ham bone but it certainly won't be the last! My family loved this soup.

This was a great recipe, I did use the pearl onions, and cubed ham steak instead of a bone and a little bit of chili sauce as people had suggested and I think it sure tastes good!!!

Right after cooking, the soup is pretty bland. Much better after it sits in the refrigerator overnight. I think adding chicken broth, garlic and/or liquid smoke would help make recipe more flavorful.

This soup is GOOOOD!! I didn't make the soup with the soaking water, rather replaced it with fresh cold water. I threw the carrots, onions, bay leaf and celery in at the beginning, added a few peppercorns and another tsp of salt, then cooked for 1 1/2 hours. Also added a couple tablespoons of instant brown rice at the end, just to thicken it up a bit. This will be good tomorrow when the temp outside is a high of 20 degrees!! Thanks!!

This was the first time I made beans and it was really great! I omitted the carrots and celery (not much a fan of either) and added a little brown sugar and liquid smoke. I will definately be making this again!

This is a very tasty soup and a great way to use the leftover ham. I added more vegetables as the amount was not ample. My son asked for the recipe since they too thought it was delicious. The simplicity of the recipe is because all the ingredients have their own wonderful flavor, good for anytime.

I thought it was great. I only changed a few things since I have been on a diet and didn't want the extra fat from the ham bone. 1. I used lean ham steaks and cubed them. 2. I used pearl onions for their flavor. 3. The last thing I did was a 1/4 cup of diced Hatch chili's, 1/2 Hot and 1/2 mild. My version of Pat's Soup is still a work in progress. Thanks Pat

I thought this recipe had great flavor. Next time I make I would probably omit the cubed ham as I didn't think it really need it, got enough ham scraps and taste from the ham bone.

This tasted really good! I did add potatoes to mine to thicken the soup.

My mom made this a year ago so I followed suit. I now have my 2nd pot of it on the stove. Although the ingredients appear simple, the taste is superb! If you like a thicker consistency, try using a potato masher to mash some of the soup to thicken. I also add a pinch of sugar, salt & pepper to taste and a dash of liquid smoke. Enjoy!

This was wonderful soup! Next time I will soak the beans overnight, as I had to cook it about an hour longer to soften up the beans more. Great recipe!

Tasted much better after a night in the fridge... Immedately after cooking it was a bit bland, but the flavors mixed together nicely after a little rest time in the ice box.
