Ham and Cheese Potato Soup

There is nothing as tasty as ham and potato soup. Well, that is unless you add cheese!!!  Cheese makes anything better, doesn’t it?

On cold days there’s nothing better than a warm bowl of soup!  This simple soup is one of our family’s favorite recipes.  In fact, it is so easy that you will add it to your weekly meal plan too!

I tend to make this with our leftover ham.  It is the perfect way to use up what you may have in your fridge after Christmas or Easter.  While some recipes require a slow cooker and hours to prepare, this one takes no longer than the time it takes to boil potatoes!

Another thing that I love about this recipe is that it is a one-pan dinner.   This ham and cheese potato soup is one of the simplest soup recipes you’ll try.
