Meh. This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This soup was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I'll use less cheese next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of ham, but I loved this soup! The cheese and potatoes really balance out the ham flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.
