Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 8 large potatoes, peeled and cubed (i used a combination of klondike rose and klondike gold potatoes)
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 2 -3 tablespoons butter
• 2 -3 cups chopped ham
• salt
• black pepper
• pepper

Recipe

• 1 boil potatoes in large pot with enough water to cover potatoes and have a little extra. (i used an eight-quart pot.)

• 4 cover and allow cream cheese and butter to soften.
• 5 combine with potatoes and remaining water, mashing some of the potato cubes to thicken the soup.
