recipe reviews for:

Pinto Bean/Ham Soup

“This soup simmering on your stove will fill the whole house with the most tantalizing aromas. By the time that you ladle it out, your family (or guests) will likely be standing in line! I adapted the recipe from a Hungarian cookbook. When my family's extra-hungry, I serve it with 'pocket bread' I've filled with either jam or cheese for a hearty variation.”

kinda' bland until i doctored it up with my own seasons (little chili powder, garlic salt, white pepper, & some soup seasoning). like the others, i guessed on the amount for the sour cream & vinegar (go easy on the vinegar! it doesn't take much). over all, easy recipe to follow, just be prepared to add your own touches...it'll need it!

I was looking for a white bean soup recipe and found this. I reduced the celery to 3 stalks and increased the garlic to 2 cloves. Threw in the hambone from Thanksgiving and a couple of pieces of crisp bacon crumbled with fat. Yummy! Everyone had to have seconds. I didn't do the second half of the recipe as I was really just looking for a hearty soup recipe. I will try it the next time. Thanks for sharing.

This soup turned out wonderful on a cold Sunday!! I did not have any ham, so I used left over Turkey Breast and the one Turkey leg from the freezer. I also added some cumin and thyme to keep in line with the turkey seasoning. (Originally I gave it 4 stars, but my Husband demanded I give it 5) This was great, filling and healthy. Thanks!!

I made this soup, and it was delicious. The only problem I saw was that the recipe doesn't suggest how much parsley or what kind of vinegar to use so I guesstimated.

This was an AWESOME Soup. I guessed on the parsley Sour Cream and Vinigar, since they don't appear in the ingrediants list. I used 1/4 C Parsley, 1 Cup Cream and 1/8 C Vinegar.

The flavor was what you would expect from a ham/bean soup, tasty, not spectacular, but predictable. While the soup part was pretty darn easy to make, I had some problems with the dough. It was super dry and I could barely pack it into a ball to rest. The pinch and roll took a lot longer than I expected and my cherry pits graduated to olive pits and hey, there may have even been a peach pit or two at the end. The dough balls didn't seem to add anything to the soup so I wouldn't even bother if there were a next time.
