Meet the Cook: Even though I'm single, I make multiple servings of everything - as reflected in the name of my soup! Actually, that tendency's helped me get to know my neighbors. The local ladies have "adopted" me. They always volunteer to be my guinea pigs whenever I try out a new recipe or two. —Cheryl Trowbridge, Windsor, Ontario

we make this recipe every time we have had ham on the bone. You have to use the leftover ham bone and make this meaty soup, but we do add more carrots and celery. Add cornbread for the side and it's complete.

Delicious! I use the ham bone left over from the honey baked ham. Takes it to another level!

This is really excellent. My husband loves it. I used homemade chicken stock.

Great bean soup recipe. It took time (what bean soup doesn't???) so I cooked in advance when I had time over the weekend.

One of my husband's all time favorites. Easy to make and perfect every time. Filling comfort food at it's best.
