Melt the butter in a soup pot on the stovetop on a medium-high heat.

Add garlic and stir until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Immediately add the flour followed by broth and milk. Stir well.

Salt and pepper to taste. I find salt isn't necessary in this recipe but you may like it.
Reduce to a simmer and add a bay leaf. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when poked with a fork. Time can vary depending on the size the potatoes were diced.
Remove bay leaf. Add a cup and a half of the cheese. Stir. Turn off heat and serve.

Use a variety of cheeses. Sharp cheddar is a classic choice, but you can also use other cheeses, such as mild cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Gruyère. Mixing different cheeses will create a more complex flavor.
Don't be afraid to add other ingredients. Vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and onions, are all great additions to ham and cheese soup. You can also add other proteins, such as cooked chicken or sausage.
Season the soup to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good starting points. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder.
Serve the soup with a variety of toppings. Shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions are all popular choices.
