I'm not a big fan of ham, but I really enjoyed this soup. The beans and vegetables were cooked perfectly and the broth was very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I didn't like this soup at all. The ham was tough and the beans were undercooked. I won't be making this again.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.
