This is a very basic and bland recipe that results in quite a bit of soup. I added a few things for personal flavor like 6 cloves of garlic, 1 tsp cayenne and 1 tsp chili powder. The final touch was one 12oz bottle of Dundee Honey Lager beer. Much, much better with something for your taste buds to savor.

This was a great recipe to use for the bag of Bean Soup Mix I had. I am trying to incorporate more beans in our diets to cut back on the red meat in our diets and this was a pleasant change. I pretty much followed the recipe as written but incorporated a few more things that I had on hand.... Instead of diced tomatoes as others had suggested I put in the remaining part of tomatoe sauce that I had in jar in refrigerator. I also added some Sazon, Sofrito, Ham seasoning, I used chicken broth also.. and about 1- 2 cups chopped turkey ham and of course the potatoes. I served with my homemade cornbread and viola dinner! It was a great hit my husband loved it. However I did not cook in crock pot I cooked in a big soup pot all day..... I made Sat and today is MOnday and there isn't even enough left to freeze!!! This is a great recipe for me as I love Soups!! Thanx for Sharing Grandma B!

This was a hit. Cheap, easy and makes alot. My crock pot was filled to the top. Should be served with warm crusty bread for dunking! I will definitely add this to my soup rotation this winter. I used ham shanks instead of chopped ham. They cost around $1 and add more flavor to the soup. Plus you do get a little bit of meat to shred into the soup. I don't want potatoes in my bean soup so I omitted them but added a clove of minced garlic and some worcestershire sauce (saw that in another recipe). It did need a little salt which I added at the end of the cooking time after tasting the soup.

I wish I had a bigger crock pot--it was filled to the brim. I used a large can of chicken broth instead of water. Very good. I'll use any leftovers to make baked beans. Thanks for the great recipe and suggestions!

This was the best bean soup that I have had in a long time! I did alter it a bit, I didn't use carrots or celery because my kids won't eat it if they see carrots. I used another's suggestion of the 2 cans of chicken broth and instead of onions, I used 2 TBSP. of minced onions. It still gave the flavor, without the chunks of onion... kids won't eat it if there are onions! They LOVED it!!! I had so much that I took some to my neighbor and they said it was the best bean soup that they have had in a long time. Thanks for the recipe! I will be making this again!!!

I have been making this for a while now and with the modifications others have suggested, it makes it awesome. Chicken broth or stock makes it super flavorful along with bay leaf. I even like it with some minced garlic and basil every once in a while-and it does get better the longer it cooks, so start this one out late at night or early in the morning. Thanks GB!

This was delicious! I have been looking for more recipes using beans for the sake of saving money and getting protein without eating a ton of meat. Very easy to make and is great for lunches for work.

Excellent BUT....This will be very bland soup without some help. I made with chicken stock vs water and I added per reviews: bay leaves, salt,pepper, garlic, liquid smoke and thyme and it was still pretty bland. So I put in about a pound of ham slice with bone and cooked another 4 hours or so in the slow cooker. Now ya got something! Better yet the next day and thereafter of course.

Very disapointed in this recipe. Love to come home to a crock pot of dinner, especially when I am coming down with a cold. Soaked great northern beans over night, followed recipe except added a about 2 tbs. of chicken base. Cooked on low all day, was not home to turn it from high to low. Came home so excited and it was blah, beans were almost gone, they were very mushy. No flavor what so ever, maybe it was the ham. Carrots and potatoes were also too mushy. Cooked it for 8 hours. It needed lots of salt and pepper to make it edible. Husband did not care for it either. The good rolls I bought to go with it ended up being most of our dinner. I will make my regular stove top recipe next time we want ham and bean soup.

I followed the recipe exactly and thought there were too many beans. Next time I'd cut the amount of beans in half. The soup had a nice flavor in the end.

Well, I used the rest of a spiral ham and it was way too salty. I used chicken broth as some suggested. I don't know if that contributed to the saltiness or not. I think I used too much ham. I'll try it again next time with different ham.

This was great! I was so pleasantly surprised. I've never had bean soup that I liked before, but my boyfriend asked me to make it for him sometime. I made a couple of changes (added a bay leaf and garlic, left out the potatoes), and it was delicious.

This is absolutely fantastic. Made this for the 2nd time yesterday and it is definitely in the winter soup rotation. Based on others suggestions, I used a 1 quart box of Chicken Broth instead of the water, add a couple of bay leaves, salt/pepper, and a couple dashes of Liquid Smoke. Tastes even better the next day, and the next day.
