Best Ham and Bean soupFebruary 08, 2008By Katrina_S
"I have never made Ham and Bean soup before so this was new. It turned out great! I did exactly what it said, but I added some more ham than it called for. We invited company over because we were testing it before it was done. This is definitely the best ham and bean soup I've had and I will make this again!"
