  1. Good. didnt have lentils, followed otherwise. Seemed plain, added cajun seasons.
     
  2. i added 1 tsp. of ground mustard, and 1/3 cup of ketchup to this recipe.....it was awesome, my hubby and i cooked in crockpot....started it in the afternoon, and let it cook all night......it was a hardy, flavor filled recipe
     
  3. I used about a gallon of water to cover the ham bone. I used 3 tablespoons of Spike brand seasoning , and 1 tablespoon of seasoned salt , along with just 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper and 1 tablespoon of powdered garlic. Our ham bone was rather picked over before I could save it for the soup..no worries just went to the supermarket and bought a little (less than a lb)<br/>hamsteak. I cut up the hamsteak and threw it in the pot. The bone worked well as flavoring agent I'd say. This rest of the ingredients here work well. I would make this again
     
  4. I had a large amount of ham left from Thanksgiving and wanted something other than my usual ham and green bean soup and this looked like just the thing. I made it per the recipe except for the lentils (didn't have any) and found it to be extremely bland. (I would have given it 2 stars.) To save the soup I added a can of crushed tomatoes, some vegetable bullion, some additional salt and pepper, a can of great northern beans, and a can of dark red kidney beans. The end result was sooooo good (5 stars, if I do say so myself)I will definitely make it again. (6)
     
  5. I am sure this IS a good recipe, even though my inexperienced attempt went awry! I tried this out - but thought 2 Tablespoons of pepper had to be wrong. I am no cook/chef though - so I tried 1 1/4 Tbsp - WAY TOO MUCH! I know, I know, DUH for me! lol I had to drain most of the stock, add more hot water and attempt to re-season. All the solid contents were already inundated with the pepper though. Am going to try it over rice or pasta to further help cut the pepper - so I don't waste so much food.
