I like to give this mix as a gift, layering the beans in a clear pint jar and attaching the soup directions with a festive ribbon. You'll find it's perfect to serve year-round. -Donna Higbee, Riverton, Utah

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great! The beans were cooked perfectly and the vegetables were still slightly crunchy. The broth was flavorful and had a nice smoky flavor from the ham. I will definitely be making this soup again
