This is a great recipe and SUPER easy. I made one modification: REAL GARLIC sautéed in a bit of butter - i only use garlic powder if I'm out of REAL garlic. I have to dock that recipe a point for that. I served it (REAL) garlic mashed potatoes and string beans (I'm not a snob, those were actually frozen).

This is a savory, filling, and yummeriffic soup. I personally detest ham and replaced it with bacon for my carnivorous boys (next time I'll try veggie bacon :-) and I was out of sherry vinegar (oh wait, i never had any). soooo good. I served it with whole wheat beer bread (if you haven't tried this it is a must) and my gal pal brought a salad (although by the time it got to be salad-time I was stuffed). Oh, there was copious amounts of wine too :-)
