I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out too salty. I would recommend using less salt next time.

This soup is a little bland for my taste. I would add more salt and pepper next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the bacon from the recipe. The soup was still delicious!

This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham. I also added a few chopped carrots and celery to the soup for extra flavor.
