  1. Wash and cube potatoes (1 inch thickness and add them with seasoning, carrots and ham to a covered ~12 qt. pot to boil over medium to medium-high heat in the broth until tender. (I like to cheat here and microwave the potatoes before I cut them up to help them along). Make sure you add just enough extra water to cover ingredients (~4 more cups). Stir occasionally..
  2. Sauté over medium heat, onions and celery in margarine or butter just until tender and add the to the pot..
  3. After potatoes are really fork tender (may need to taste one), melt the cheese in the microwave or a sauce pan following package directions. (I cube it and microwave 1 min. stir, 1 min. stir and 1 min. more and stir in a splash of milk to loosen it up if necessary). Add to pot and stir..
  4. Add instant potatoes to pot and stir until dissolved..
  5. Add sour cream to pot and stir..
  6. Add salt and pepper to taste and let the soup thicken by simmering over low heat, probably ~10 mins depending on the amount of extra water added..
  7. Sit back and relax, you’re done, enjoy with/without real bacon bits and/or crackers (I like Ritz)..

Cheese: I recommend a good sharp cheddar cheese here for maximum flavor. Greek yogurt or sour cream: To make the soup extra-creamy. This hearty Ham and Potato Soup is made with a ham shank or leftover ham bone and russet potatoes.
