Good soup recipe, with modifications. I left out the green pepper (since we don't like it). I used a huge meaty hambone, and the soup was salty because of it. However, that didn't bother me. The broth, however, seemed kind of lifeless. After I added 8 oz. of tomato sauce, we really like the soup! I'll make this again, but I'll definitely add the tomato sauce.

Made this using the leftover bone from our Thanksgiving ham. I followed other's recommendations and added frozen vegetables and chopped up some of the leftover ham and added that as well. I also added a couple of dashes of hot sauce. Very tasty...even better the next day.

I've never made or eaten a ham and/or bean soup, so I wasn't sure what to expect. However, this was a hit with the whole family. Per previous reviews, I used 2 cans low sodium chicken broth and 2C water w/ 1 boullion cube to cut down on the salt. Also added one can of navy beans. This a great way to use up that big ham bone!!

As is, this is a great soup base. I found it needed more veggies and broth for my taste. I added corn, green beans, and carrots and could have added more. I also added a tbsp. of minced garlic. I used a leftover picnic shoulder roast, which gave it great flavor.

This was very good. I added a bunch of other veggies such as zucchini, carrots, and green beans. I also put in a larger can of kidney beans than the recipe states and added a cup or so of Great Northern beans. I used less chicken boullion squares than the recipe asked for - my cubes are one cube for two cups of water therefore I only used 2 cubes. It was very tasty in the end and even my daughter ate it (she's pretty picky).

This was a good recipe, but I added LOTS of veggies, zucchini, green beans, carrots, & celery and without them I'm not sure as to how 'good' the recipe would have been. The flavor was good, but I would use it as a base for your imagination.

This soup got rave reviews from everyone who had it. The only change I made was that I used "Italian Style" diced tomatoes. Absolutely wonderful.

I followed this recipe except I subsituted a can of pinto beans because I had them on hand. The soup turned out delicious but second day, was much too salty! I do not know what caused this, because I did not add any condiments to the original recipe. I can only blame it on using the six bullion cubes which I think may have contributed to the saltiness. I will try this recipe again, but may just used a can of low salt chicken broth instead of the cubes. If anyone else has had a problem with this, I would like to know their "cure"!

This is a great soup! A wonderful change of pace and great use for ham bones. I used tomato sauce instead of chunks as my family prefers no pieces of tomato. Really good & easy! I've already made it several times.

This recipe was AWESOME! I didn't have a slow cooker, so I just put everything into a 12 quart soup pot and brought it to a boil. Then I reduced it to low and simmered for about 4 hours, stirring occasionally. The ham just fell off of the bone! I modified slightly, 4 boullion instead of 6, and 5 cups of water. I also added some diced leftover ham that was in the fridge. I sent this recipe to everyone. Yum!

I bought a pack of ham bones the other day and needed to do something with them and of course I came here. Didn't really care to much for the taste. I guess I'm not much of a ham person, but my company really enjoyed it. Thanks anyway.
