I made this last night for dinner. Wow it was so easy and so good. I did add two grated carrots and one finely chopped celery stock. Hubby even liked it. (He doesn't do soup.) - 2/11/11

This was exactly what I was looking for. Great consistency and easy to make. We had it with out the ham. It's easy to make it your own by adding herbs and whatever seasoning you want. Will become a staple in our menu. - 1/5/10

Very nice soup. Good consistency and fairly easy to make. I added carrots and left out the onions because my kids won't eat them. Kids both ate it and said it was good. My husband said it reminded him of creamed chipped beef because of the milky base. Will more than likely make again. - 2/5/09
