This soup is one of my family's favorites. It's chock-full of potatoes, ham and carrots. I like to make this comforting soup at least once or twice a month during the fall and winter.—Jennifer Trenhaile, Emerson, Nebraska

This is the second recipe I tried for a ham and potato soup and my family loved this one. I cooked it in the crockpot though, added all the ingredients at once. I didn't have bacon on hand so skipped it and my family still loved it so next I will add bacon to see the difference!

I've been making this for years, and it's one of our favorite dishes. Over the years, I have played with it. Now I add vermouth to the roux and different spices that we like. I use turkey bacon, which works fine with the addition of a little olive oil.

It was outstanding. I left out the onions and carrots but it was still amazing

The recipe is awesome. I cut it in half and used fresh corn on the cob that I had cut off rather than the can corn. I also added white pepper which goes well with soup and potato recipes. This is a recipe that I'll share with a lot of people.

SOOO GOOD! Love it. I added less cheese because it was already reach. I used Velveeta cheese to get this thickness and flavor before now I know what I can use instead of Velveeta.

I've made this soup many times since it was first published and everybody loves it. I usually use precooked bacon, I find there is enough grease left to saute the onions and carrots in.

Great recipe. Didn't change a thing. Recipe claims it serves 10 but my family of 4 made the whole thing disappear. Will make again.
