Life on a farm can get hectic—along with my husband's four brothers, we custom-feed 5,000 head of cattle and grow 5,000 acres of crops. So I often freeze this soup and thaw it for a fast easy meal. Since It's hearty, all I need to add are rolls or bread and a salad. We're expecting an addition to the family spring, who'll join our 19-year-old, 4-year-old and 2-year-old.

I found this recipe [ or a variation of it] years ago in Midwest Living & called Midwest Ham Chowder... I do add 4 X's the onion, & double the carrots & celery & a bit of garlic. Will also add left over veggies [ ie: green beans, broccoli, mexicali corn ] so good & filling. Added note: I cook the butter & flour for just a bit before adding the milk to rid it of the flour taste..... yummy recipe

This is our favorite soup. I've made it dozen's of times and served it often at large gatherings. I've used Ukrainian sausage or cooked bacon instead of ham, both work well. We also like adding califlower with the veggies.

Great taste and easy to make. Good way to use up leftover ham after the holidays. Comfort food on cool days. Serve with biscuits and this is a meal.

Awesome rainy day soup. I add a little cayenne pepper, maybe a 1/4 tsp. and it adds an additional layer to the flavors. I also puree the vegtables and liquid before adding to the cheese sauce. What a wonderful recipe. Thank you!
