CHEDDAR POTATO-BEER SOUP WITH SHREDDED HAM
This is a hearty, cozy soup that's great for chilly fall evenings. I like it with lots of the red pepper flakes. You can serve this as a main course for dinner, along with rye bread and apple pie for dessert. Recipe is from the Chicago Tribune.

Steps:
- 1. In a large saucepan, combine the potatoes, water or stock, carrots and onions. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until tender.
- 2. Meanwhile, in another saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add the milk, salt and pepper. While stirring constantly, bring to a boil; cook and continue stirring for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add shredded cheese and stir in until melted.
- 3. Pour cheese mixture into undrained potato mixture. Add ham; heat through. Yield: 7 servings.
Tips:
- Use a good quality ham. A smoked ham will give the soup a more intense flavor.
- Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be cooked through but still have a little bit of bite to them.
- Use a sharp cheddar cheese. A mild cheddar will not have as much flavor.
- Add a splash of milk or cream to the soup for a richer flavor.
- Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
Conclusion:
This ham potato cheddar soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a comforting and delicious soup, give this one a try.
