I'm not a big fan of ham, but I really enjoyed this soup. The beans and vegetables were cooked perfectly.

This soup is a great base recipe. I like to add different vegetables and spices to it, depending on what I have on hand.

The soup was good, but it didn't wow me. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found the soup to be a bit too thick. I would add more water next time.

I made this soup in my slow cooker, and it turned out perfectly. It's so easy to just throw everything in the slow cooker in the morning, and then dinner is ready when you get home from work.

I love the smoky flavor of the ham in this soup. It's also nice and thick, thanks to the pinto beans.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham. It's also a great soup to make on a cold day.

This soup is hearty, flavorful, and easy to make. I used a leftover ham bone and some leftover pinto beans, and it turned out great! I also added a few chopped carrots and celery, and a bay leaf for extra flavor.
