     I use chicken and chili seasonings instead of ham. A Little tip when making any bean soup- always add carrots- avoid flatulence! - 2/22/09

     I loved this soup! I used the review and added carrots and no gas! I added a few more tomatoes to thicken it up. Don't worry about the extra calories...it is so filling you don't really need a full serving and the protein and fiber keep you full for a long time! - 5/7/10

     I use the same recipe except I add premixed diced celery, carrots, onions and diced ham. Easy prep - 1/27/11

     This soup is great! and very easy to make. I usually make a couple of soups on Saturdays and put them in 1 cup containers and we eat them as healthy lunches all week. - 3/13/07

     I used smoked turkey necks instead of ham hock. - 3/10/07
  • BAILEYS7OF9
     I made this but w/o the tomatoes and only 1/2 the packet seasoning. NOTE the calories are WRONG on this, it has 120 for the beans listed twice. - 1/3/13

     Looks kinda like mine, but I add carrots and celery, water or beef stock... and I use 28 oz can of whole tomatoes...never tried chili powder, but why not. GOOD SOUP! - 7/29/11

     I'm making this soup right now, and I am thrilled that it is already in here. I don't have to add it myself. Thanks Daisylady. - 4/17/11

     I'm alergic to pork. Can you believe that? I love ham! I discovered I can use smoked turkey legs as a substitute.
    I make large quainities of this soup in various ways but changing up the spices. It's always a hit. - 5/29/09

     You can use sausage, smoked turkey parts or a ham bone as an alternative to ham hocks.
    This is a yummy soup!! - 7/18/08

     I add chipolte peppers to add some better flavor. A bit salty from the flavor pack. - 12/4/13

     Did not care for this soup. Think it was the tomatoes. Wanted the more traditional, like my Grandma used to make bean soup. - 11/29/13

     Soup was great, I omitted the chili powder and completely forgot the tomatoes! Will make again and remember the tomatoes! - 4/9/13
  • MISSRUTH
     My DH and I love this soup; make it every time we have a ham bone-- always plenty of meat for soup left on the bone. I leave out the tomatoes and the seasoning packet, adding more garlic and a little red pepper flakes. - 4/8/13
  • BOOGERDOO
     very good; I added a drop or two of liquid smoke - 3/27/13

     This is a great soup. Have made it many times. I do not use the seasoning packet at all - just don't like the flavor. Add own seasoning instead. It can be varied and adjusted to taste in so many ways. - 3/14/13

     Is that a one cup serving? - 2/11/13

     I didnt have 15 bean mix so used 2 cups variety of dried beans and lentils that i have around. I used 4 cups beef broth and 4 cups water along with a carrot, fresh tomatoes, celery and increased to 2 tsp chili powder. I cooked it in crock pot on low for 12 hours. I served it with many grains bread - 1/1/12

     if you add a pinch of backing soda to the water you soak the beans in you will avoid many embarrasing situations later ;) - 10/17/11
