CREAMY HAM & POTATO SOUP

Creamy Ham & Potato Soup image

Growing up in the Midwest, this soup was a staple in our menu during the long winter months. When our sons were at home they loved the soup but it never seemed to hold them for very long. I added a few more ingredients and now they make this recipe for their families and friends and share the recipe often. I hope you enjoy it!

CREAMY POTATO CAULIFLOWER AND HAM SOUP

Creamy Potato Cauliflower and Ham Soup image

I have a potato soup recipe I love, but I wanted it to be a little less heavy on the carbs (not carb free, but just less). I decided to add cauliflower to replace some of the potatoes, and we couldn't really tell- plus it tasted great. I don't really measure my spices, so do it to your taste.
