   This may sound crazy, but as I child I truly loved Campbell's Bean and Bacon Soup, however, it is...
   
   I truly loved Bean with Bacon soup as a child, but noticed just how much sodium is added to the soup!  Crazy!
   Does anyone out there have a great recipe of a homemade Bean and Bacon soup without so much sodium, they are willing to share, or better yet, publish a recipe hub on!  Thank you for answering

   The bacon alone has an overdose of sodium.....  :-(

      You are right, and I was just telling my husband that exact same thing!  But that is what makes it so good ... However, bean soup is so very healthful for us.  Thank you for answering, dear DzyMsLizzy!

   Faith, I have a recipe for beans and ham soup. It's my mom's recipe and oh-so-delicious! The next time you have a ham, save the bone. Make sure there's still some meat attached to it. If you're interested, email me and I'll send it to you.

   Faith, I imagine that you are speaking about their Condensed brand. Campell's has a Bean & Bacon under "Heart Healthy" that is half of the sodium of their Condensed brand, and Progresso has a 'southwest style' under "Heart Healthy" also that is about the same in sodium.

   I love that soup, too, but the sodium is outrageous! You inspired me to google copycat recipes. This is my favorite of the ones I found, and I plan to try it soon! http://www.food.com/recipe/copycat-camp … oup-518582

      Yes, it sounds great. They do have the "Healthy Choice" soups as Kevin suggested. Now, I have two great recipes. Thank you.
