Lucky Bean Soup image

This recipe is from a bean soup gift pack I developed as a fund-raiser for our church. We provide it along with the beans and a packet containing all the spices. The recipient just adds water and a can of tomatoes for a delicious pot of savory soup. -Doris Cox, South Orange, New Jersey

This soup was a lot of work, and it didn't taste that great.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out bland. I think I might have added too much water.

I added some chopped carrots and celery to the soup, and it was delicious. I also used chicken broth instead of water.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have some leftover ham after the holidays, and this is a great way to use it up.
