"White Bean 'n' Ham Soup, for example is a winner on all three levels," she explains. "It's economical quick and yummy!" Bissy notes that while canned beans make this hearty main dish a fast fix, you can say money by soaking and cooking dry beans instead.

Made this soup tonight and my family loved it. Will double it next time as it only made enough for 2 adults and 2 young children.

Very good! Have made it before but it simmered longer this time, maybe 45 minutes. I think that made it even better. (Doesn't really need the salt though.)

This was okay... Too bland for our tastes, even with the extra garlic and other spices that I added... I'm thinking maybe it needed to simmer longer? Anyway, I definitely recommend Bissy's Crunchy Romaine Toss - I've made that numerous times and my family adores it! In fact, we made it twice in one week recently at the request of my 9 year old daughter!

My mom made this for my husband and me on a rainy Northwest evening, and it was both hearty and delicious!
