"I came up with this soup after I had tried something similar at a restaurant," explains Stacy Bockelman, California, Missouri. "Using chicken bouillon and frozen hash browns makes it easy to fix. It's good with sourdough bread," she adds. It's also good for your pocketbook at only 47 cents a bowl.

Loved this soup! Made it as shown except for 2 things: I sauteed the onions and ham a little before adding them to the soup, and used rosemary instead of dill. Fast, easy, and delicious, and definitely a recipe I'll make again.

Delish! There are only 3 of us at home tonight for dinner so I prepared 1/2 the recipe. My picky teenage son informed me I need to double it. My husband says this recipe is a keeper. The only changes I made was I used bacon instead of ham and added lots of white pepper. We didn't have ham on hand and we like white pepper.

Wonderful soup. A great way to use up holiday ham. Wouldn't change a thing.

I love how easy and delicious this recipe is. I used cooked turkey bacon in place of the ham as a lower fat substitute, and it added a nice smokey flavor.

our family loves it. We make it with vegetable broth granules instead of chicken and threw in crumbled bacon- yummy!

Makes a good basic potato soup. I left out the ham but added some kale instead. I also halved the recipe, and it still worked out well.

My daughter was home sick from school and asked for some creamy soup which had hash browns and onions in it. I didn't want to go to the grocery store so I started searching for recipes which included the ingredients I had on hand. I found this recipe but didn't want to thaw out a ham steak to make it. So I substituted some leftover rotisserie chicken for the ham. I also used light cream cheese. It was delicious and my daughter loved it!! I'll definitely make it again.

My family really enjoyed this very easy to make recipe. I added some cheese to change it up a bit. I would definitely make this one again. Thanks. :)

My entire family loves this, even my son who doesn't really care for potatoes. Great with a crusty bread. I like to leave out the ham & adorn with bacon & chives. Wonderful!

This soup is very good. I think I will try it next time with bacon instead of ham and maybe add a few more potatoes. You will LOVE it!

This has been a family favorite ever since it came out in the magazine a few years ago! We make a big pot every Christmas. Excellent soup and easy to make!

This is a Super Easy and Super Yummy soup! I used Neufchatel (lite cream cheese) and thickened it a bit with instant mashed potatoes. Served in bread bowls for an all-in-one meal! My 14-year old LOVED it!
