  1. This soup seemed to be missing something and wasn't as flavorful as I expected. However, the next day it was much better. I made a couple of changes, used chicken broth instead of water, bacon instead of ham, and a lot more dill than called for (I love dill in my potato soup). I think next time I'll fry the onion and celery (maybe in bacon grease?) before adding the potatoes and broth/water. I'll also use sharp cheddar (I had medium on hand).
