Next time I make this recipe, I will omit added salt; the ham makes it salty enough. Otherwise, great combination of spices!

My family loves this soup. I added chopped carrots and celery to it with the onion. Yum!

Great recipe! A bowl of this soup and a slice of buttered homemade bread is  tailored made for this winter weather.
