Best Ever Potato Soup


I have tried many, many potato soup recipes. This one is by far my favorite.

Steps


In large soup pot , combine water , ham base , ham , carrots , celery and onions.
Cook over medium heat 15 minutes.
Add potatoes and cook until tender , 30 to 30 minutes.
Combine milk and cheese spead in medium saucepan.
Cook on low heat until cheese has melted stirring often so it does not burn.
Add to potato mixture.
If desired , thicken soup by gradually adding the flour / water mixture until soup has reached desired consistency.
