Tasty way to use up my leftover mashed potatoes from thanksgiving. I used leftover ham instead of bacon and omitted the mushrooms. I kept it warm in a crock pot.

    I made this for lunch today but changed it a little. I didn't use mushrooms or scallions as I didn't have any. I did use green some green onion though, and I threw in some smoked salmon I had. I added salt but wish I hadn't! It definitely doesn't need salt with prepared broth! It was really fulfilling and a great way to use up mashed potatoes! Great recipe!

    Had shallots that needed using & added with onions. Had no mushrooms & didn't miss them. Recommend "blooming" paprika in butter before adding broth. If using canned broth, needs no salt. Had a lot of potatoes & added extra broth. Very forgiving of proportions. Good combination of flavors. Doesn't need the creams. Quick, easy & tasty!
