Ham & Cheese Soup
"This is a "family favorite" around my house. It is a great way to use up leftover ham or veggies from a vegetable tray. I have even added chopped broccoli & cauliflower. To speed up prep time, use a food processor to chop the veggies and the ham."

Really comforting and yummy. I added some leftover mashed potato, just cause I had it around, and it was thick and flavourful. Everyone in my family liked it.
