Description

This ham, potato, and cheese soup is made with milk and seasoned with pepper. Paired with hot rolls, it is the perfect dish for a cold winter night.

Ingredients

12 potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 large onions, finely chopped
2 pounds processed cheese food (eg. Velveeta)
1 pound chopped ham
ground black pepper to taste
3 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk

Directions

1 Place potatoes, onion, and cubed ham in large stockpot. Cover with water. Cook until potatoes are almost tender.
2 Remove about one cup of cooked potatoes and mash in a bowl with the back of a fork. Add some of the liquid from the pan (about a tablespoon at a time) along with the flour till you have a thick paste. Add this back to the pot.
3 Place cheese (either whole of cubed) in the pot. Let soup simmer until cheese melts and is thick. Add ground black pepper to taste and stir in milk.
