Cheesy Mashed Potato and Ham Soup image

I freeze a couple cups leftover mashed potatoes from different meals each time to have for this soup! this is great without the ham, but I like to add it in, we love lots of spice so I add in 2 jalapeno peppers with the onions, but that is only optional, serve with crusty bread for a filling main meal ---- this soup is delicious, you know I wouldn't take the time to post anything that's not, so please enjoy! :)

This soup was a little too salty for me. I think I would use less ham next time. The cheesy mashed potatoes were delicious, though.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think it needed more seasoning. I also didn't like the texture of the mashed potatoes in the soup. I would probably try a different recipe next time.
