Great flavor, but a bit salty for my taste. Maybe 1-2 less boullion? Added carrots and celery, plus some cooked pasta at the end of cooking time. Husband loved it.

This was easy and really delicious. I originally made the ham with a cinnamon glaze, it kind of clashed with the flavor of the soup so I'll def keep that in mind next time.

great recipe...I used the water I boiled my ham in for the soup, added celery and a can of Campbells tomato soup instead of chicken bouillon and left out the beans. Served with homemade bread from my bread machine...Thanks

For a fairly basic soup, I thought this was very flavorful. I subbed chick peas for the kidney beans and added corn and celery. I might have added another can of tomatoes in retrospect. Also, when I first cooked it, the fat from the ham bone left a thick layer of oil on the top which kind of bothered me. After I refrigerated the leftovers overnight, that layer solidified and I was able to pull it off and pretty much get rid of all the fat. Peeling it off was kind of gross but I'm better off with it in the trash than on my hips.

My hubby wouldn't even try it, my son said yuck. I thought it was ok, tasted more like stew then soup which was what we were expecting. Not bad, but I won't make it again because I'll be the only one eating it.

This soup has excellent flavor. I had to stretch it for unexpected guests so I added 2 cups of vegetable stock. It was a good addition. I only used 4 cubes chicken bouillon as I thought it would be too salty with 6.I also used black beans instead of kidney beans only because I had to use up the black beans. When I make this soup again I will make this substitution as the black beans were a bit smaller than kidney beans with a better taste. (Personal preference)I cooked it in the slow cooker for 8 hours and cooked the pasta a bit in a separate pot. Then added the pasta at the end for about 1 hour. The pasta swelled up a bit too much so be sure to add it only at the end. It was like minestrone. I have been looking for a good ham bone soup and I found one with this recipe. This soup is very forgiving as you can add any kind of vegetables you like and add or omit the pasta. I don't usually like to rate a recipe that I made changes to. It bugs me when the recipe is changed and then rated but I think this recipe would be good without my changes. Thanks for sharing.

Tomato based soup is usually not a favorite of mine, but I may need to change my mind. This is a great basic soup recipe that is VERY forgiving - allowing you to alter according to what is in your pantry/frig. This became an everything but the kitchen sink ham bone soup... because I used everything but the kitchen sink and it came out great. My crockpot (1.5 Qt) was filled with: the last three Yukon Gold potatos, a small four ounce can of low sodium mushrooms, low sodium blackeye peas, 8 oz tomato sauce, 14 oz. italian stewed tomatoes, low sodium chicken broth, fresh parsley, my last onion, two bay leaves, and a very lean ham bone (hubby had already picked it clean) and one cup white wine. Awesome. It wasn't salty and had a nice rich flavor. Thanks for sharing!

You're kidding? You rated this recipe two stars but all you've done is "think" about making it? Sheesh! Reviewed: Feb. 2, 2006 "To those who referred to the salt content, that is going to happen since it's ham. I would suggest using chicken broth instead of bullion. However, I think if I decide to make this, I will be sure to use twice as much water as broth I use. I don't worry about it being watered down too much as there will be plenty of flavor from the broth and ham combination."

Thanks so much for this recipe! I hate to waste and after we have Hsm it seems there was so much meat left on the bone. I make this everytime I make a ham. It freezes great, and you can add rice or pasta to change it up a bit, my kids are picky and dont want to see something twice

I do not like beans, but had a ham bone left and didn't want to waste it so I tried this recipe. It was surprisingly good but very salty. However, the salt was manageable. I did not cook it in a crock pot, but in a pot on the stove. It didn’t take long, only about 30 minutes until the potatoes were done so I had to turn the heat way down until we were ready to eat. I also used canned northern beans instead of kidney because I don’t like the texture of kidney beans but found that the toughness of the kidney bean is needed since the soup boils so long to get the flavor of the bone out.

Great for flavor as well as ease! I don't have a slow cooker though so instead I brought all ingredients to a boil and then lowered temp to med-low heat for about three hours. Additionally, I made some substitutions due to pantry limitations. They were...3 ounces red lentils instead of kidney beans, yellow and orange peppers instead of green, tomato puree instead of diced tomato, and 6 cups chicken broth with two chicken bullion cubes. What a fantastic recipe that can stand up to so many deviations!!!!

My husband and I normally disagree when cooking soups. I like broth with chunks. He likes smooth puree-type soups. I like 2-3 ingredients plus flavorings. He likes throwing everything possible into his. So I didn't think we would ever find a recipe that we both loved. But this was definately a winner. Even our 3 kids, who don't normally like soups ate this. I made the recipe exactly (I always try a recipe straight the first time and then make any needed changes the next time) and it was terrific. Although I may try adding a few more veggies next (for my kids' benefit), no changes are actually needed for the recipe. Very tasty!
