  1. We kept the ham separate - but enjoyed the soup. Kids just ate a little - they're used to "creamy" potato soup, and this was of a thinner-type broth. Still, overall it was fine!

  3. WE REALLY ENJOYED THIS SOUP. IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN THE POTATOE SOUP WE'RE USED TO BUT STILL LIKED BY THE MAJORITY. THE MUSHROOMS WERE A NICE ADDITION.

  4. I made this soup and made a double batch. I sent one batch to my mom who had surgery. She raved about it and asked for the recipe. I told her Wendy is a great cook!

  5. So good!!! All but 1 kid loved it and I just think he decided he didn't like it before he tried it. Thanks for making this! It's my favorite potato soup!
