Cheesy Mashed Potato and Ham Soup image

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! :)

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time. Otherwise, the soup was very good. I especially liked the creamy texture.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less ham next time. Otherwise, the soup was very good. I especially liked the creamy texture.
