This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham. It's also a very affordable meal to make.

I wasn't a big fan of this soup. The flavor was just okay and the texture was a little too thick for my taste.

This soup was easy to make and it was pretty good. I would make it again, but I would add some more vegetables.

I liked the flavor of this soup, but the black-eyed peas were a little too firm for my liking.

This soup was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This soup was a hit at my last potluck! Everyone loved the smoky flavor from the ham bone and the tender black-eyed peas.
