HEARTY POTATO, HAM AND CHEESE CHOWDER



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.
