Kristine
Any idea what the Smart Point value is? I’m not sure how to calculate a ham bone….
Martha McKinnon
Hi Kristine, it’s 3 SmartPoints. I’ve updated the recipe.
Fritz Mizell
I just noticed the picture at the top of this recipe, the potato is not peeled. So, peeled or unpeeled?
Martha McKinnon
Hi Fritz, Peeled or unpeeled, your choice!
Patrick Killian
That was a easy and very tasty meal. Fell like i can actcook! Thanjs for the share.
Paul H Schreck
Was very tasty. I didn’t add salt/pepper until it was served and with the veggies and spices, it really didn’t need it. I would add another can of beans to thicken it more the next time.
Linda
First time I ever made a soup with a hambone, it was absolutely delicious! I left out some of the spices because my father-in-law is somewhat picky and it was still outstanding. And only 3 WW points, I may have seconds!
