	Kimmacc Yummy! I Used red kidney beans and barley instead of the beans called for. I also added corn, thyme, and a bay leaf. It was delicious. 1 months, 1 weeks, 5 days, 19 hours, 15 minutes ago

	janetjkim Love it. Made it for my family and everyone loved it. I also made it without the potatoes and peas. Added corn because I had it leftover from another meal. Definitely will be making this again. 3 months, 4 weeks, 1 days, 19 hours, 38 minutes ago

	Tone36 Although I chose to make this recipe without the potatoes and peas it still was a great recipe! 4 months, 4 days, 43 minutes ago
	Boppy Used this as a jumping off point.Omitted the peas and potatoes to lower the carbs. I also used dried beans that I soaked for 8 hours. When the beans were done I put About one third of them in the blender and then added them back in to give the soup a better consistency. My husband loved it and he's a picky eater.Even my 3 year old granddaughter thought it was delicious. Beepa 4 months, 1 weeks, 1 days, 18 hours, 28 minutes ago
	Biologyteach This recipe was Easy! Great! I added 1tbs marjoram, few dashes of Tabasco for a little heat and some baby spinach. This will be my new go to soup when it's chilly out. 4 months, 1 weeks, 2 days, 3 hours, 13 minutes ago

	ChefDumbo Easy and delicious, thanks for sharing this recipe. 4 months, 2 weeks, 17 hours, 44 minutes ago
	Jaywilson This is a wonderful soup and I give it five stars without hesitation. Used it to finish off a nice ham made for 2012 new year's day meal. I didn't have potatoes on hand so I tossed in a can of garbanzo beans and used a red pepper powder made by my friend Dennis in New England that he calls 'Dragon Powder'. Great combination and a delicious soup. 4 months, 2 weeks, 22 hours, 16 minutes ago

	bubbri I've made ham and bean soup for my entire cooking life. A pretty good bean soup. I just looked up this recipe to get the proportions I needed to to use. When I saw the recipe was close to what I usually did, I decided to follow it. First taste after the soup was cooked was a great surprise! This bean soup is exceptionally tasty. What a treat!!
