I was looking up this recipe to prepare for the Easter ham left-overs, and realized I hadn't rated it from the Christmas ham left-overs! I love soups, but despise cream-based soups, so this was the perfect find. I used noodles instead of potatoes, and red cabbage instead of regular. This is an awesome soup and it makes a ton!

I cut this recipe in half and it still made a lot of soup. I made as is with the exception of adding tomato sauce along with the canned tomatoes because I like my soup to have more of a tomato base. I used seasoned salt instead of regular salt and did not use the optional sugar in the recipe. I really like this soup. It had a lot of flavor. I would probably add a little more potatoes next time. This is actually a pretty healthy soup. Too bad it is only my husband and I, even with cutting the recipe in half, we still have a lot of soup left. I think I will try freezing some. Thanks for sharing your recipe with us.
