Cheddar Ham Soup image

I knew this ham soup recipe was a keeper when my mother-in-law asked for it! The hearty soup-chock-full of leftover ham, veggies and cheese-is creamy and comforting. And even though the recipe makes enough to feed a crowd, don't expect it to last more than one meal! -Marty Matthews, Clarksville, Tennessee
