Winter Ham and Potato Soup
When it is snowing and a blowing there is nothing better than something hot to warm the soul! Soup always hits the spot on a cold snowy day! Not to mention I have so much left over ham that I am putting it to good use! Tonight I made up some delicious Ham and Potato soup.
Now with the soup I made I used nothing less than Idaho potatos! Yes as an Idaho girl I am pretty picky about my potatos!
I have attached my own recipe that I use – I do alter it sometimes depending on how thick I want it and how big of a pot I want The recipe is printable too!

It is important to continue to wisk/stir so the mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pan. Once thickened pour the mixture into the pot with all the other ingredients and stir!
