Soup was delicious, it made a lot,I added extra ham and made 3 cups of more or broth to add. I do get a little carried away with veggies as well. For me I didnt add the cream. Didnt need the extra calories:) Enjoy!

Lovely soup. I added 4 heaping cups of chopped cabbage instead of 6c, 3 med potatoes and a bit more broth. I added a pinch of cayenne, and since it was for New Year's day, a scant cup of presoaked black eyed peas. I used milk and deleted the corn as i thought it was sweet enough with the carrots and cabbage. We've enjoyed it for 2 nights now. I would make it again.

This was surprisingly good! I browned some bacon and then sauteed the chopped ham, onions and carrots in the same pan for a minute before going on with the recipe. (and added the chopped bacon too). I didn't have any corn, and I used milk, but the end result is scrumptious anyway. I'm looking forward to my lunches this week! Thank you for posting!
