I'm a vegetarian, so I made this soup with vegetarian ham. The soup was still very flavorful and it was a great way to get my protein.

This soup is delicious and it's also very affordable. I used dried beans instead of canned beans, which saved me a lot of money. The soup was still very creamy and flavorful.
