I have made it without, but it really is tastier with it. Even if you don't have much ham (or any ham at all) you still have the flavor that really makes the soup EXCELLANT!

Your ham broth might even be tasty in biscuits or corn bread as a water/milk substitute.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941253261489920628.post-813079993513151422011-04-13T16:09:52.040-04:002011-04-13T16:09:52.040-04:00My husband would say "ham and bean soup"...My husband would say "ham and bean soup"!

Add onion, garlic, pepper--canned tomatoes, if you like. Add meat--ham, of course, but chicken would be great, too.

In fact, I think I've made it maybe twice the 4 1/2 yrs. we've been married! That is other than chicken or sausage gravy for pancakes. But maybe I should make mashed potatoes and have them with ham gravy. It does actually really sound good. And Rachel, gravy on sweet potatoes...hmmm...I'll think about that one. I love salty and sweet too.<br /><br />Cheryl, thanks for that suggestion. I was wondering if that would work and actually last night I nearly substituted ham broth for chicken broth in a soup and then was scared it might be too strong. But I'm going to have to try it!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01292982876856374725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941253261489920628.post-48674689532289079482011-04-13T09:22:49.928-04:002011-04-13T09:22:49.928-04:00It would also make very yummy soup.
