It’s no surprise that my family LOVES soup. It’s just something us Lunas have always enjoyed which means, we LOVE trying out and find new soup recipes that we love. For the longest time, we’ve been making this Crock pot Cheesy Potato Soup, because it’s easy and ALWAYS a hit!! I wanted to try another Potato Soup recipe but thought I’d try one for Cheesy Potato and Ham Soup which I knew would be just as good. I’m happy to report that this soup really is delicious! It takes a little more time than our other Potato soup, but it tastes PHENOMENAL. I asked the hubby which one he liked better and he couldn’t decide since they are both so good! I feel like this one was a little more cheesy and hearty with the ham chunks, so if you love hearty, warm soups, I suggest trying this one.
For all those ham and potato lovers – I REALLY think you’ll enjoy this recipe!!
Cheesy Ham & Potato Soup:
- 4 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 12 oz. ham, cooked and cubed
- 4 cups water
- 2 chicken bouillon cubes
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. garlic pepper
- 5 TB butter
- 5 TB flour
- 2½ cups milk
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- scallions
- Combine potatoes, ham and water in a large pot.
- Bring to a boil, then cook on medium heat for 10-15 minutes (or when potatoes are tender).
- Add chicken bouillon cubes, salt and pepper. Mix.
- In another pan, melt butter on medium heat. Whisk in flour and stir constantly for about 1 minute. Slowly add milk and continue whisking until sauce thickens (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add the milk mixture to your pot and cook soup until heated through.
- Add cheese right before serving. Top with scallions. Serve immediately.

Made this with the leftover Christmas ham and it was a HUGE HIT!! Made a huge batch and froze what was left, added corn to half of it for a little added treat 🙂 So simple and so yummy. Thank you!
Good, hearty soup. I used ham broth instead of chicken bouillon, dried onion flakes, threw in some tasty corn, garnished with fresh parsley. Good way to use leftover Christmas ham and broth! Made a big pot and will freeze leftovers.
So you do not drain off the water used to boil potato and ham, right?
No, potatoes will absorb most. Hope that helps!!
Thanks for the recipe! I added to it by sautéing onions and garlic with the cubed ham before adding potatoes and water. I also used about a cup of stock instead of bullion just because I didn’t have any on hand. Cooked a little longer than recommended for the consistency I wanted, but followed everything else you have here.
Yum!
Those sound perfect!! Thanks for sharing those changes! I’m so glad that you liked it 🙂
Look it very delicious! I like it! I will make it follow instrction in your post. Thanks your post!
