Good hearty soup, I omitted the ham and used only 2 cans of beans. I also added cumin and bit of chili spice. It was good, I wish it was better but I'll work on it. Thanks for the recipe!

I liked this soup. I added sweet corn and used bacon instead of ham. Used cider vinegar because that was all I had. I thought the vinegar taste was a little strong, I may add less next time.

I did not puree the beans and I used fresh instead of canned. Soup needs to sit a day for the flavors to blend. Nice filling soup.

This soup was hearty and filling but does need some herbs to liven it up a bit.

I double the ham and onions and added the ham at the beginning. As a result, I definitely tasted the ham unlike some others - like a black bean ham and beans! Added some cumin and slap your mama spice for a bit more flavor! I thought it was delish!

This was delicious and definitely one of those recipes that tasted better the second day, seemed that the pumpkin really emerged.

Very yummy. You wouldn't know there was pumpkin in there unless someone told you. I skipped the upfront blending and instead used my immersion blender for a bit right in the pot before adding the ham. Chopped the ham very finely, so the kids couldn't really eat around it. Stirred in some sour cream at the end and added a dollop on each bowl along with shredded cheddar.

So good! But it definitely needs a little doctoring up; I added an extra can of whole black beans and a can of corn. I also added cumin, 2 jalapenos, cayenne, garlic salt and garlic powder. Also the tomatoes I added were "red pepper tomatoes". Delish!!!!

This is by far the best soup ever! Even my husband (who doesn't really like soup) said that the recipe was a keeper. I ran out of sherry vinegar so I substituted it for 1/4 of Sherry and I only had chicken broth in the house so I used it. It was fantastic!

Really good. Made as-is except substituted apple cider vinegar for the sherry vinegar. Was a teeny bit too strong, may only put in 2 T next time if I do apple cider.
