CREAMY HAM & POTATO SOUP
Growing up in the Midwest, this soup was a staple in our menu during the long winter months. When our sons were at home they loved the soup but it never seemed to hold them for very long. I added a few more ingredients and now they make this recipe for their families and friends and share the recipe often. I hope you enjoy it!
