Made this one up myself, from a mix of different recipes. No need to wait for dry beans to soak. You get great homemade soup in about an hour!

Delicious! Ten stars, if there were such a category. I used chicken broth and a couple of leftover slices of black forest ham. I assumed it would end up like Campbell's bean and bacon soup, but was much better. When I open a can of tomato paste and just need a couple of tablespoons, I freeze the rest in 1 Tb. portions, so I just grabbed some of that out of the freezer instead of opening a can of tomato sauce.

    This was the best ham and bean soup I've ever made. I added some sage because my mom always put sage in hers. I have never put garlic in ham and bean soup before and it made all the difference.

    I have loved Campbell's bean and bacon soup since I was a kid... this soup reminds me a lot of the Campbell's version, and now I can enjoy the homecooked version! I love it! I have two comments/adjustments I would do next time I make this recipe (and there will be many more next times): 1) Definitely use more whole beans. I am going to try pureeing 2 cans of beans, and then adding 1 full can of whole beans to the soup. 2) I added 1 cup of milk to the puree mixture instead of the 1/2 cup of ham stock for a creamier version of the soup, and I think it turned out quite well!

    This was a great easy soup, I ended up using 3 cans of beans, I pureed one whole can of beans with some of the soup mixture after it had cooked for awhile which included some of the ham and vegetables which gives the base a lot more depth of flavors.
