We all hated potato soup, until I came up with this combination. It is a hearty meal on a cold winters day. Extra ham and bacon, make it even more filling. It is a large batch, but freezes well. I sometimes bake the potatoes the night before, to save time.

[email protected]This chowder is a little too rich for my taste, but it's still very good. I think I'll try using less cheese next time.

[email protected]This chowder was hearty, warm, and packed with flavor. I used Yukon Gold potatoes, which gave it a creamy and smooth texture. The ham and cheese added a nice salty and savory touch. I served it with a side of crusty bread for dipping - delicious!
