Well this was a wonderful, warm lunch today (it only reached 59* here). Very filling for a soup. I only had Russet potatoes, but I cubed them and it worked just fine. I used regular chicken broth (not low-sodium) so I skipped the salt. I had left over ham, so I cubed that. The kicker was the sour cream. Nice, velvety texture. I actually added a dollop more to my individual bowl. I even thought about sprinkling some shredded cheese over the top (maybe tonight). The crispy bacon really adds to the texture and flavor. Hubby isn't home yet to try it, and he doesn't get here soon, there may not be any left! Thank you for posting a very nice soup recipe. (Made for "My 3 Chefs")

<p><span><strong>I am a stay at home mom to two wonderful boys; Joshua (8years), Kaiden (5 years), and baby GIRL, Madalynn (19 months)! I also have two fur babies (cats); Kobee, AJ; we had to put our youngest cat Sly down Jan 2014. :(. I am also married to my best friend, Jeff and have been since April 2005. I love cooking, hate cleaning and will do whatever I can to get out of it! I love grilling and baking. I do most of the grilling at my house, and bake for almost a week straight at Christmas time! I can make or will attempt just about anything, though I rarely make brownies, my husband's are the best! Homemade breads are not my friend, so I am always working on bread baking.</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>As for recipe ideas (besides zaar) Cooking Light Cookbooks are my favorites. I love to make new meals and try new things; it is hard though because my husband is picky when it comes to veggies (and hates seafood); If it were up to him we would have baked-bread crumb chicken and white rice at least one meal a day! Over the past couple years with zaar, I have found tons of new recipes my family normally wouldn’t eat but have been happily surprised with new favorites.</strong></span></p>

<p><span><strong>Cooking is my hobby and passion, I always like to host the family get togethers and volunteer for the potluck dishes. Most of all though are my kids; being home all day with them is fun and challenging, but I wouldn’t trade it for any salary!!</strong></span></p>
