I threw this together one morning when I needed to get rid of some leftover ham but didn't have any real cheese or potatoes. It was awesome - my husband and boys ate from it all day and into the night. They didn't even want me to cook dinner - they just kept eating this.
Ingredients:
6 cups water
2 cups milk
ham, cut in chunks,whatever you have on hand
1/2 cup parsley flakes
1/2 package velveeta cheese (or generic substitute)
potato flakes (the fake mashed potato stuff)
1 cup sour cream
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Put water, salt,pepper and ham (just use whatever you have left over- amount doesn't really matter) in a large dutch oven and simmer for about an hour.
2. Add milk, parsley and enough potato flakes to make a soup just less than thick enough to suit you (it will thicken a little more as it cooks).
3. Add velveeta and simmer and stir til melted.
4. Stir in sour cream and serve.
