REVIEW THIS RECIPE

REVIEWS

Really easy to make and pretty darn tasty!

Heatherina

It's a bit bland for my taste. I might try to find smaller ham chunks or shredded ham, and definitely I added some cajun spice.

Heatherina

It is good. I don't think tit's the best I've ever had, but it's a good starting point. It needed a little hot sauce, for starters. Also, I used cubed ham as specified, but the chunks were too big. It was satisfying though. Next time I'll try adding some additional spices and perhaps some Heinz 57 as suggested by other reviewers.

Very tasty and amenable to any number of variations. I added corn.

This was delicious, really hit the spot. First, I made it exactly like the recipe said. I used half of a small "kentucky legend" smoked ham, diced. But then after I tasted it (it was quite good already) I had the idea of adding some Heinz 57, so I added about a tablespoon to the pot. I liked it especially well that way. Thanks for another great recipe, webtexan!

Delicious, and a great way to use up leftover ham.

It was a great hit in my family. I took the advice from previous people that made the soup and added rosemary, thyme and a bay leave. Will make again :)
