[@popanddonnacollinsworth7741]

Anyone who could watch this video and not be hungry for a bowl of that soup must be dead! I like the way this Lady thinks and as a direct result of that . . . I subscribed to her channel. I am open to learning more from her.

I like these authentic homemade videos verses the corporate ones. Adding potato is a great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks very much!

This is one of my favorite bean dishes. Ham goes with just about any dry bean, lima pinto etc. Thank you for posting the written recipe.

My son-in-law calls this auction soup because he always got it when he went to auctions with his father. That brought back memories for me for sure of going to auctions or the steam show with my dad. I ,are my soup very similar to yours. I will often add a bay leaf or two while the beans cook, and I give a quick mash to some of the beans to add a little thickness to the soup.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

I like the bay leaf, Mike is not a fan, LOL. But I like it that way too! Thank you!

[@nottthereyet4872]

miss, you know how to flavor a soup! like my mom, and she was the queen of beans. thank you, it takes my heart back to memories

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thank you, so glad it gave you good memories!

[@thespankdmonkey]

Love this recipe. Looks so damn good I have to give it a shot. My mom used to do some amazing things with beans. Soups and all. Me and the wife will never forget her baked beans. They were so delicious. And she would never tell anyone how she made them. No one was even allowed in the kitchen when she made them. She passed away several years ago due to Alzheimer's and took that recipe to the grave. Thanks for sharing!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

I'm so sorry you lost her and the recipe. That's a double blow. If you can describe what they were like, maybe we can come close.

[@EvansBrosRacing]

I was looking at videos trying to find out if I remembered my mom making this with just water and the ham bone , and not using chicken or vegetable broth . I do not recall her using broth and now I see you don't either . I know with our family of 7 kids and 3 picky eaters , my mom did not add any other ingredients besides the beans , water , salt , ham bone , and I recall her adding bacon bits to it . I know she soaked the beans over night in cold water and started cooking it in the morning . She cooked it all day on low and it was always awesome with cornbread . I have my brother living with me (we are old now ) and he's one of the picky eaters , but we share the cost of food , so I cant do your recipe , but it looks amazing .

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thank you! And hey, he might surprise you!

[@mjhepburn11]

My mother also made a very plain ham and bean soup. She soaked beans, and cooked only with water and the ham bone with a lot of ham left on the bone. It was still pretty flavorful, because the ham added a lot of flavor.

[@tommyjoestallings855]

FLORIDA HERE.. STILL LOVE YOUR RESIPEE

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thank you!

[@lexburbury7664]

Helga this is a great recipe, I use the Better than Bouillon in all my soups too. They come out great.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thank you!

[@PatriotGamesROCKS]

Don't have to soak them overnight, do a hot flash. Boil a pan of water. Take off stove, add beans. Let sit for an hour. RInse. Cook.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thanks for the tip. I just like throwing them in water and letting them sit while I sleep so I don't have to watch them. But this is a good method if you want to get them done quicker for sure.

[@PatriotGamesROCKS]

@@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot They taste much better doing it this way. You don't soak out all the flavor to where you have to add a ton of seasonings. They don't have to cook as long either.

[@emmareed4407]

Love this recipe I've used it twice now!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

That's definitely a ham lover's soup right there. And that's an interesting introduction song as well... Sweet home Pennsylvania. There you go, two hits in one video.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

LOL! A friend did the intro back then not thinking about the state, but I like the song anyway soo, kept it for a time!

[@kc5hgv]

Here in Louisiana I use the Pintos & Great Northerns. I boil a Ham bone from the Holidays meals and make a stock for 1.5 hrs. Sort out the fat and de-boned m meat and remove the bones and add Onions and Beans and cook on the stove. Serve with Mexican Cornbread. My Mom's West Virginia recipe.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Yup, sounds like the southern version of our PA Dutch version! Sounds good to me!

[@metalenium4044]

nailed it! Keep it simple. Looks amazing! You got this.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thanks so much!

[@scottmitcheltree4182]

Great and simple recipe. Bet it tastes great...Williamsport native here. Some dough in there for dumplins is another option if you didn't want beans. Thanks.

Grandpa made even simpler bean soup with ham hocks, baby lima beans, carrot onion and celery. No thickener, he served it over the bread with lots of black pepper. I think he grew up Mennonite in Ohio. 13 siblings!

That's a great way to feed a large family!

LOL, every family has their own variation! I'm sure that's delicious! Thank you!

[@RobinLNJ]

I am making this tomorrow, already started soaking the beans. I’ve never put potato in….I will have to try adding that tomorrow. My favorite thing is to have some oyster saltine crackers and cubes of Swiss cheese on the side with this soup. 💕

Yup, that's always good!

Definitely works for me. The smell though out the house, all day, a!most as good as the soup itself. Winter is not over yet. Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing. 😎.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Yes, it does make the house smell good! Mike always says when he comes home and the house smells like cooking that it smells like "home". Thank you!

[@bartlett454]

Great recipe! I do add the celery because it's always good to get more vegetables into one's meals and I think celery adds a unique subtle flavour that most people don't think is there. Also, a dash of turmeric and curry powder for added colour and health benefits. Brilliant with a piece of crusty French bread on an autumn eve. Perfect dinner for me.

[@xvsupremacy7190]

You are right I could not eat soup without the onions and celery.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thank you! I will tell you that Mike does not like it that way, and this is his Aunt's recipe, LOL. However, I like your version as well!

[@michellem9275]

HAM & BEAN SOUP 1-2 smoked ham hocks and some diced ham chunks (if you don't like smoke as much, only use one ham hock.) 1 large diced potato 1 diced large carrot 1 medium onion diced 1 bag of dry great northern beans Water 1 tbs Better Than Bouillon Ham Base 2 tsp thyme 1 tbs parsley 1 tbs Worcestershire Sauce (celery, liquid smoke, mashed potatoes etc. optional) DIRECTIONS: Soak the beans over night in a large flat dish with water, covering all beans plus 1-2 inches of water on top. The beans will soak up that liquid to become re-hydrated. Rinse beans and place in the crockpot. Add water to fill to 3/4 full. Add ham hocks and onion. Turn on high for one hour, then down to low for 4-5 hrs. When ham hocks are tender, remove, debone and shred/dice and add back to the soup. Add remaining ingredients and let go on slow another 1-2 hrs. Serve up with a good crusty bread and butter!
