I omitted the cabbage, used the carrots, celery and onion without cooking first; omitted sage and used the spice packet from beans. I made a double batch as the bean bag was 16 oz. and adjusted ingred. accordingly. I tossed everything in from the beginning except the ham steaks, which I cut up and added the last half hour. I cooked on low for about 12 hours - Perfect! I did end up blending about 4 c. of the soup to add some substance, it was fantastic this way. A keeper.

The taste is wonderful, but the smell of cabbage cooking in your crock pot is not to my liking. It still tastes great, but I think I'll skip the cabbage next time.

We loved it ... Instead of water, I used chicken broth and I used two lbs of Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage... then topped it off with cheese and sour cream...

My first time cooking with a ham hock and making a second attempt with dried beans. It was a success...I blended about 4 cups of the soup to thicken it up a bit...very good soup!

This is outstanding! My 2-year-old ate 3 bowls. The only complaint I heard was my 9- and 6-year olds ... "Where's the meat?" Leftovers got bacon pieces, next time I'll add some smoked sausage or kielbasa.

I used this recipe as a base for my "normal" stovetop 15 bean soup. I used the leftover ham bone from Christmas supper (with LOTS of meat left on it), and some extra cooked ham - added near the end. The meat literally fell off the bone!! I omitted all the spices and used the "ham flavor" seasoning pkg that came with the beans, two bay leaves, two teaspoons of minced garlic, and black pepper (to taste). For the veggies - I used carrots, onions, and celery. This was my first attempt with a slow cooker (the 7 qt. one was a Christmas gift!!), and it turned out better than my stovetop recipe!

I skipped the ham hock, cabbage and chili powder and most of the spices. Instead I added mild Italian sausage that I browned first. That added plenty of seasoning. My whole family liked this the first day, but no one wanted to eat the leftovers. I liked it, but won't make it again for awhile.

Not a bad soup, just needed a few extra spices to make it hotter.

Good recipe. I used 1 and 1/2 bags of beans and after about 3.5 hours, I took 4 cups of the beans and veggies and put them in the blender to make the soup a little less brothy and a little thicker like I like my bean soups. Make sure to adjust the chili powder to your liking. I served this with home made french bread from the bread machine and a small salad. It was a great autumn comfort food dinner!! Thank You~~

This is excellent. I only have a 3-quart crock pot, so I downsized the ingredients. I also skipped the bacon alltogether and cooked the cabbage, carrots and onions in olive oil instead.

No one in my family liked this soup particularly. It was too "tomato-y" and the chili powder was a bit overwhelming. This recipe makes A LOT. It was, however, much better several days later. The tastes seem to blend well and weren't so overpowering. I would recommend making a day in advance, at least, and you've got a 4 or 5 star soup.

This recipe definitely makes alot. I had to use 2 crock pots. I found it to be just okay and I wouldn't make it again. With the onions, cabbage, 15 kinds of beans it is definitely one to give you gas.
