Paula Deen calls for 2 cups of diced ham in her recipe. I use veal sausages in LC's Senate Bean Soup. You could really substitute any meat or bones or combination. I've never seen a recipe for it calling for Sherry but don't see any reason you couldn't add a little. Soup in general, and Senate Bean Soup also, is very forgiving. You can add different meats, spices or wine and it will be delicious. Sue Epstein There are many recipes for Senate Bean Soup that call for ham.

This is a deliciously simple soup that's just perfect at this cold and snowy time of year. It's also very simple and inexpensive to make, which is a great boon in these times. I had everything on hand except the beans, parsley, and ham hock. [TeAntae Turner] In one word, comforting. This is a deliciously simple soup that’s just perfect at this cold and snowy time of year.

The ham hock makes a beautiful stock. I think pork stock is sadly neglected in home kitchens and in this soup the stock enables the minimal ingredients to develop maximum flavor after a day of rest. Also, the ideas and variations that come to mind from a recipe like this is another reason why I rank it highly.

The Senate navy bean soup has been on my to-try list for years and years. We prepared it for our Super Bowl party, and the dish was the hit of our meal, eclipsing my version of Wolfgang Pucks' recipe for Italian sausage.

The ham and parsley were nice. What a great dish on a snowy day to enjoy while watching football. Again, I can't express how simple this was. <em>Anyone</em> can make this.
