3/4 c milk
1 1/2 c diced cooked ham
1/4 c shredded swiss cheese

Tips:

  • Use a good quality ham for the best flavor. Look for a ham that is smoked or cured, and has a nice pink color.
  • If you don't have any ham on hand, you can substitute cooked bacon or sausage.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, or green beans.
  • You can also add a cup of cooked rice or noodles to the soup for a heartier meal.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
