SWISS HAM AND POTATO SOUP
This is an easy soup recipe that I've been making since the early 70's. I love the flavors of the ham, swiss cheese and just a hint of nutmeg. This is a perfect soup for a chilly windy day. This was a favorite for my daughter and now she makes it for her family too. Hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, heat all ingredients, stirring occasionally. Be careful to not over heat. Heat just until hot and cheese is melted. Serve topped with cheese and/or real bacon bits.
- 2. Note: Don't leave the nutmeg out, I believe this is a key ingredient for the wonderful flavor of this soup.
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.
Conclusion:
Swiss ham and potato soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a relatively easy soup to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try.
