Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe is similar to the one Mom made. She used milk rather than half n half and did not add ham. Because the soup was all shredded vegetables in a milk broth, we her children thought it looked like slop to feed the chickens, thus the title "Slop Soup." Mom wasn't too happy with the title of this soup, but we all enjoyed it. Karin
