“I knew this recipe was a keeper when my mother-in-law asked for it!” relates Marty Matthews in Clarksville, Tennessee. The hearty soup, chock-full of leftover ham, veggies and cheese, is creamy and comforting. And even though the recipe makes enough to feed a crowd of post-holiday guests, Mary notes, “don’t look for leftovers!”

Whoever said this was tasteless must have used boring cheese! This is simple and delicious!! I followed recipe exactley and it turned out great! Next time I am going to add a few more potatoes and some bacon along with the ham too! Thanks so much for the great recipe!!

It was tasteless and bland. I added chicken and vegetable stock just to give it flavour. I would never make it again.

I have 4 children, ages 5 and under. They rarely all agree on a meal, but they love this one. I serve it with yummy whole wheat rolls.

This is a great and easy recipe. I substituted chicken stock for the water and colby & monterey jack cheese for the cheedar. It tasted great.
