Very good soup! Didn't have any ham, so subbed some roasted chicken I had on hand. Turned out great!

This is one of the best soups ever! I served this (doubled the recipe) to a small group & I couldn't believe the raves....Absolutely a keeper!

This soup was creamy and delicious! I did make a couple changes, though. I added sliced fresh mushrooms, I had left in the fridge and used fat free half and half. My husband went back for a second helping! He doesn't usually do that . . . well. . . not with soups, anyway.
