1 Pat of butter

Onions, potatoes, carrots, ham, salt & pepper mingling

4-6 medium potatoes

½ medium onion, diced

1 cup carrots, diced

1 cup ham, diced

2 14.5 oz cans of chicken broth

1 14.5 oz can of water

White pepper, to taste

Salt, to taste

8 oz Velvetta cheese, cubed

4 oz cream cheese

Melt butter in large pot.  Add onions and sauté until translucent.  Add potatoes, carrots, ham, salt & pepper and sauté (stirring occasionally) for about 5 minutes to mix all flavors throughout.  Add chicken broth and water and stir well.  Simmer for about 2 hours, until potatoes & carrots are very tender.  When veggies are tender take a masher and mash the veggies until desired consistency.  I like to leave chunks.  Add cream cheese and Velveeta cheese and stir.  Simmer until cheeses are fully melted (10 – 15 minutes) and incorporated into the soup.

Completed dish! Yummy!
