Delicious! Followed exactly until after second simmer. Didn't have corn so subsituted frozen butternut squash, no black eyed pease subsituted chick peas (drained), coarsely chopped ham in food processor, added handful of fresh parsley for third step, added 1 inch of anchovy paste instead of salt. Some of the best soup I ever made.

Wow! This is just one awesome recipe - made with fresh vegetables. My teenage boys ate a whole pot of this in one day and one of them said it's the best soup he's ever eaten. Great recipe, we'll definitely make it again. Thanks for posting!

This was an excellent recipe! We used our leftover Honey Baked ham from Christmas, didn't modify the recipe at all...yum!

It really depends on how much ham was there in the first place? you would probably need to double or triple for 14 people.
