I was out of potatoes but still wanted to try recipe. I had a box of BC scalloped potatoes. So I used the dehydrated potatoes and added them as my potato source. I followed the rest of recipe and the outcome was very good.

Excellent soup to use up left over ham! GOOD!

This was really good. I used probably more than 2 cups potatoes...I like a lot. Boiled them in chicken broth for some added flavor. Used low fat milk and butter substitute to help with the fat content.

And put shred cheese on the table rather than adding on stove. I especially loved the addition of the broccoli as I love that as well.
