What a great soup! I used a quart of chicken stock in place of one of the quarts of water, and I added some leftover cabbage that I needed to get rid of. Everything else stayed the same. I would have liked a little more garlic, so next time I will double it, and maybe some other spice... bay leaf? We really enjoyed this soup, and it is a great way to use that ham bone rather than tossing it away.

I loved this soup. It was SUper easy. I did double the amount of seasoning and added a couple of extra carrots. I also cooked it in the crockpot for about 6 hours. It was perfect for a chilly day and even better the next day.

Delicious recipe, I changed a couple of things. I used pinto beans instead its what I had and I added 1 tsp. brown sugar and 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper, it was hit in my family. I have made this a couple times already, it remains our favorite ham and bean soup. I did add chicken stock for some of the liquid. So goood!!

Great way to use leftover ham. My only change: substituted 2 cans vegetable broth (low salt)for some of the water and doubled up the vegetables. Even the teenagers ate this. Cooked on simmer all day - thickened nicely. Froze well.

Very good. I made an 18 qt. roaster full for a function and got several compliments. I did add some ham base for a little extra flavor.

Made this soup yesterday, and it tasted incredible. I did not find it in the least bland...I did however use the bag of 15 bean soup mix I had purchased instead of the navy beans, but not the seasoning it came with. I simply shook in a prodigious amount of the spices called for, plus a pinch of salt. A delicious soup, great with cornbread muffins.
