Restaurant quality soup that is good year round. I love to make this if I have leftover ham, although a ham slice works just as well.

How To Make cheddar ham & potato soup

Step 1

Place potatoes, carrot, celery, onion, garlic, ham and water in a large soup pot and bring to a boil. Continue to cook until potatoes and carrot are soft.

Step 2

Stir in chicken bouillon, salt and pepper.
Step 3

In separate sauce pan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and continue to cook and stir for 1-2 minutes.
Step 4

Slowly, whisk in milk and continue to cook and stir until it starts to thicken, usually 4-5 minutes.
Step 5

Add cheese and blend well. Stir the cheese mixture into the stock pot until heated through. I use a potato masher to break up some of the potatoes to make it a little thicker.
Step 6

Add parsley flakes or fresh, chopped parsley before serving.
