I doubled this recipe and made it for a pot luck last night. Everyone loved it. It is very easy to make, I made it as directed except I salted the potatoes as they were cooking so I used about half the amount of chicken boullion. It definately would make a great base for many different soups (if you take out the ham)...I'm thinking clam chowder next! YUM!

I discovered through this recipe that I do not like ranch dressing mix. It is too salty. Maybe if you use less it would be ok, but it was really over powering to me. I dropped it off for a ladies lunch and it was pretty much eaten so everyone else must have liked it. I think I'll stick to a garlic/dill spread.

I really liked this. I would never have thought to put rasperry preserves with cheese, and I have never made a cheese ball of any kind. I did put nuts on the outside before the preserves. YUM!
