Everyone in my family said it was WAY too salty. Dad added instant mashed potatoes to thicken it up a bit.

Just tried this soup after watching it on Paula's show. I had a turkey and ham for Christmas, so I put the ham bone and ham meat in the soup instead of bacon. I also put the veggies in the processor to melt into the soup. It was so delish.
