"I pretty much made both of these up with a bit of help from a couple cookbooks. It is really easy to make and my step-sons favorite soup is homeade pea soup. Even when he found out all the onions were in it he didnt mind. Stir each time you walk by, this has a problem with sticking until you have the hang of it and the perfect pot. If making bean soup, a 16 oz jar of tomatoes adds a great flavour."

I used 2 pounds of dry lima beans.. washed and drained... One large ham bone with lots of ham left on.. no sausage.. and I doubled most of the other ingredients (especially water)... It was delicious and I froze some for future meals... definately a keeper.. thanks for recipe Tara

I actually use regular ham hocks instead of smoked so it isnt too salty.

I make this soup which I love but I omit soy sauce as some ham hocks can be quite salty
