This is a really great out-of-the-ordinary soup! This was a very enjoyable lunch; I loved the carrots and ham together. I doubled the recipe, and used a chopped leek in place of the green onions. I also added some dried tarragon. American cheese would go well in this soup, too. Depending on your brand of ham, cheese and the broth used, some people may find this to be salty. Perhaps use low-sodium broth (or low-sodium ham) and/or use half broth and half milk or water. Thanx for a new and different soup, Kittencal! I'll make this again.
