This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham. I also like to add some vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and onions, to make it a more complete meal.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out bland and watery. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This soup is delicious! I love the combination of flavors and the sourness is perfect. I will definitely be making this again.

This soup was a bit too sour for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if I had used less sourdough starter. Otherwise, it was a good recipe and I will definitely try it again.

I've made this soup several times and it's always a hit. The flavors are so well-balanced and it's the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day.

This recipe is easy to follow and the soup turned out great! I used a sourdough starter that I had on hand, and it gave the soup a nice tangy flavor. I also added some kielbasa and potatoes, which made it a hearty and filling meal.

This soup is a labor of love, but it's worth it! The flavor is complex and delicious, and it's a great way to use up leftover ham. I also love that it's a vegetarian dish, so I can serve it to my meat-eating and vegetarian friends alike.
