This recipe was good, but the beans were too much in my opinion. The flavor was a bit on the bland side for our tastes, but I think it could be enhanced with some Worcestershire sauce and maybe some red pepper flakes. Just my opinion but it was a good start for ham and bean soup! Thank you for sharing this recipe.

Wow...this was delicious! Had some extra ham in the fridge and always have lots of canned beans. Had to use three cans of navy beans and one can of great northern. Did not have celery on hand, but used a can of corn for something extra and it was very good. Seemed like it needed something more by way of flavoring, but I would make again.

This is very similar to a recipe I have been using for years. The only difference is I use water instead of chicken broth because it can be too salty and I don't use chili posder or bay leaf but I do add about a 1/2 cup of brown sugar. I don't usually cook my vegetables before hand I just throw everything in and slow cook for an hour or until the vegetable are tender. Just a couple ideas for something different for those of you who like this recipe.

I loved this. It tasted just like mom's. I only used 2 cans of beans and that is plenty for me.

This was an excellent recipe. I pretty much stuck to it, except for adding a bit of liquid smoke, worcestershire sauce and cumin for a smokey flavor. It turned out great! Thank you!

Wonderful basic recipe. I added some leftover vegetables and a can of refried beans. The soup simmered for two hours and was great.

Based on this being a quick and easy recipe, I give this soup 5 stars. Sure - a slow cooked bean soup might be better if you have time. For me this was a great after work recipe. I was skeptical of adding the chili powder, but it wasn't overpowering.

Use this recipe, you will not be disappointed. I add a bit of liquid smoke to mine. Such a FAST bean soup, and the family loves it. I allow my beans to simmer for awhile so that the soup becomes thicker.
