This would be a great soup to use leftover ham instead of the ground meat. Thanks for the great recipe!
I made this for Christmas eve dinner a couple of years ago and everyone raved. I have made it several times since and it never disappoints.
So glad you and your Christmas Eve guests enjoyed this soup Nancy! Thanks for the review!
