Hearty potato, ham and cheese chowder image

We all hated potato soup, until I came up with this combination. It is a hearty meal on a cold winters day. Extra ham and bacon, make it even more filling. It is a large batch, but freezes well. I sometimes bake the potatoes the night before, to save time.

  • Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be tender but still have a little bit of bite to them.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot out of the oven.
