SWISS HAM AND POTATO SOUP
This is an easy soup recipe that I've been making since the early 70's. I love the flavors of the ham, swiss cheese and just a hint of nutmeg. This is a perfect soup for a chilly windy day. This was a favorite for my daughter and now she makes it for her family too. Hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, heat all ingredients, stirring occasionally. Be careful to not over heat. Heat just until hot and cheese is melted. Serve topped with cheese and/or real bacon bits.
- 2. Note: Don't leave the nutmeg out, I believe this is a key ingredient for the wonderful flavor of this soup.
Tips:
- To give the soup a creamier texture, blend or puree a portion of the soup in a blender or with an immersion blender before returning it to the pot.
- For a bolder ham flavor, use a smoky or cured ham.
- Add a splash of white wine or beer to the soup for an extra layer of flavor.
- If you don't have any celery on hand, you can substitute another vegetable, such as carrots, parsnips, or turnips.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or thyme, before serving for an extra pop of flavor.
Conclusion:
Swiss ham potato soup is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, smoky ham flavor, and tender potatoes, this soup is sure to become a family favorite.
