A hearty and healthy soup. Needed a little more seasoning; added 3 t. ham base and that was perfect.

This was really yummy. The kids liked it, too. Made it with leftover Easter ham, and rosemary fresh from the garden. It also went really well with Recipe #218324 to sop up the liquid. It did need a little salt for me, though.
