Here is how you make Sam's Cheesy Potato Soup with Ham:

Start with cubing the potatoes, about the size of a nickel. Fill a large pot with enough water to cover the potatoes, go ahead and start boiling them. While the potatoes cook, dice the onions and the ham if it isn't already. Cook the potatoes until for tender, or the rule of thumb I use is to cook them until they are almost ready to use for mashed potatoes. When they are done, drain off about half of the water, add the ham and onions, then add milk to raise the liquid level in the pot again. Heat this mixture up on about med to med high, when it's warm, add the shredded cheese and butter. Stir until well mixed. I usually cook this at a simmer for about 30-60 minutes. This is also a bit better to eat after being kept in the fridge overnight. You can add spices if you want or use bacon instead of ham, add some sour cream, and of course, use lower fat options. The soup should keep for about 3 days or so and usually makes about 10 average size bowls.Number of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SAMANTHAWHITE.
