CHEESY HAM AND POTATO SOUP
Comfort soup at its finest! I usually make this to use up leftover ham. This is easy to adapt with other ingredients. I don't put celery in mine. I have added garlic sometimes as well.

- In separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and cook stirring constantly until thick.
- Slowly stir in milk as not to allow lumps to form and all milk is added. Turn up to medium heat. Continue to stir until thick (4-5 minutes).

- Stir the cheese mixture into the stockpot and cook until heated through. (I also will break up some of the potatoes for thickness. It gets thicker as it cools and next day).
CHEESY MASHED POTATO AND HAM SOUP
I freeze a couple cups leftover mashed potatoes from different meals each time to have for this soup! this is great without the ham, but I like to add it in, we love lots of spice so I add in 2 jalapeno peppers with the onions, but that is only optional, serve with crusty bread for a filling main meal ---- this soup is delicious, you know I wouldn't take the time to post anything that's not, so please enjoy! :)

CHEESY HAM AND POTATO SOUP
This recipe was born out of a need to use some leftover ham. I found a recipe sort of similiar on allrecipes, made it and was sorely disapointed, so I decided to make up my own. Perfect for a chilly day, served with a crusty bread. WARNING: This soup smells amazing while cooking, you will have a hard time waiting to eat it!
