This really wasn't anything special, and I won't be making it again. The potato flakes really didn't do anything for me.

I used this recipe mostly as a base. I had some bacon i needed to use, and a little bit of andouille sausage, so I tossed it all in too. I didn't use the mashed potato flakes, and it was still yummy stuff.

Very delicious soup...the instant potatoes add the perfect consistancy. I did add more water as needed and also a drained can of petite diced tomatoes as well. A keeper.

Very good, it was hearty and flavorful. It makes a good meal in itself.

The one thing that absolutely makes this recipe are the instant mashed potato flakes. I concocted my own spin on this recipe by using a little bit of leftover beef stew, removing the beef, and adding some chicken stock and broth into my Crockpot, a couple diced ham steaks, seasonings (ex: thyme, cracked pepper, onion & garlic powder etc.) and some Worcestershire sauce and mesquite flavored liquid smoke to finish it off. Make sure you add the instant mashed potatoes at the very end and eyeball it. You will get the creamiest, yummiest texture and consistency. My family ate up the whole pot in one night! Warms you right up after a long winters day.

This was pretty good and I like a good homemade bean soup. (I also rarely have a ham bone around so I take advantage of it when I do.) But it did take some time to make. I had canned Northern beans so I used an equivalent amount of those instead of dry and didn't add them until that last 30 minutes. I also reduced the water since the dry beans would have soaked some of that up but I was just guessing there. (I added it slowly and somewhat went by taste after it had cooked a while and then added some more.) Even though good, I don't see that it is better than other navy bean soups.
