Healthier Delicious Ham and Potato Soup image

This soup was great, so creamy. I add some carrots and green beans to it and it has a little more fiber and a little more heartiness to it.

HOLY MOLY POTATO SOUP

Holy Moly Potato Soup image

This is a turned-up version of a cheesy potato soup. We eat this often, especially on cold winter evenings, but it'd be lovely for family get-togethers or potlucks during the holidays! Crushed red pepper flakes really turn up the heat. -Angela Sheridan, Opdyke, Illinois
