The ultimate in cheesy goodness!
In a large soup pot simmer chopped onion, carrots, celery, potatoes and ham in chicken broth until vegetables are tender. (This can also be started in a crock pot before you go to work and be left on low until you get home; I have done this many times.)
About 30 minutes before you are ready to eat, in a large skillet or saute pan, melt butter. When melted, whisk in flour and allow to thicken over low to medium heat. After it has thickened into a paste, add milk (or cream if you’re feeling especially naughty). Whisk over low heat until smooth, then start stirring in cheese one cup at a time. After all cheese is melted in and sauce is smooth, fold into vegetables and broth. Leave it over low heat, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes. It looks funny at first but with low heat and a little time it will incorporate beautifully. Do not allow to come to a boil after cheese sauce is added.
Season with salt and pepper. Serve and enjoy! It doesn’t get any better than this!
